LV & GC

Just back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Hectic. Tiring. Fun. Awed and amazed at what nature has made and what man can make. The two places, which are the flagship creation of man and nature respectively, are vying for attention. Flying into Vegas was like going to an island of lights and show and party in the middle of a sea of sand and parched land. Similarly, driving to the Grand Canyon, the sudden sight of Grand Canyon sort of throws you back. You shake your head to make double sure what you are seeing is what you are seeing. It's simply awesome. The man made wonders at Las Vegas look miniscule in size over what nature has carved over a million years. But what took nature millions of years - attract thousands of people everyday, man did it in less than 30 years at Las Vegas. The river knew how to slowly and carefully erode the rocks to create that wonder. Smart bussiness people knew how to carve the sands of Nevada into Timbuktu of fun and frolic. Money is eroded out of people's pocket to create those marvels. The rocks don't complain. Neither do the people.

Each of those two places were a visual treat. Both places offered wonderful opportunities for photography. While these photos cannot and will not tell what it means to see it person, those not convinced may take a glance to tell themselves that ya its certainly worth a visit.
