Snow



After all those past days filled with sun who would have thought so much snow would fall within such a short time. The picture above is not a black and white picture but exactly how it looked like this morning when we woke up. Needless to say that the snow was already starting to melt when the sun decided to appear and while hitting the road we quickly found ourselves under blue skies and autumnal heat again.

Grand Canyon



As Grand as the name suggests! It was impressive the first time I went there some long years back and I continue to be gobsmacked by the majesty of the place. The hike down the South Kaibab trail led us to encounter the famous mule train at the aptly named Ooh-Aah Point. The sun eventually showed its face and we were in for a treat during the whole trek. It is amazing how things quickly changed and it was only a matter of minutes before the first snow of the year decided to fall over the park. It was a magical and sublime moment.
