Grand Canyon: Through the Air & Along the Water

After a restful night at the Hualapai Ranch, I woke up the next morning eager to see more of the Grand Canyon. The day was thus employed with a Helicopter ride over the canyon and a boat cruise along the Colorado River. It was my first Helicopter ride and I got to sit at the front, right beside the pilot. Let me just say this: U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E! This experience was beyond incredible and I highly recommend it to those who plan on visiting the Grand Canyon. Here, I compiled a few black and white photos that I took that day and I hope that somehow you will catch a glimpse of the beauty that awaits you.

Happy Travels!

To Conquer and Be Conquered

I could have stood there forever. 

As the sun dipped beyond the western horizon and bathed the canyon in it’s fiery glow, a humbling and utterly overwhelming sense of awe filled me. I could have stood there forever and marveled at the beauty of this world that shouts the glory of the one who made it. It was incredible. The depth, the breadth, and the length of the Grand Canyon was mind boggling. I felt so tiny before that consuming vastness, overpowered and conquered. Yet at the same time I felt such a rush standing at the edge of a precipice with seemingly all the world stretched before me. That must have been what rulers felt when they looked upon their kingdoms. Atop the canyon, as far as my eyes could see, I stood level to those towering rocks before me like an equal. It was a completely new experience. I felt conquered and like a conqueror at the same time. It’s for moments like these that I keep traveling. To feel life all anew.

Yes, I could have stood there forever.
