Mel’s Color Commentary: Day Seven
by Mel on Apr.17, 2009, under Next Exit: US of A
I was planning to save red rock-red for today, but well, the Grand Canyon is just… grand. Grand as in if the light is not perfect (which it wasn’t) and the air is a litlle bit hazy (which it was), you don’t really see much of the bottom or the other side, even with binoculars. So all the colors I collected today were brownish-greyish-blueish-greenish views of something grand ? too grand to inspire awe or fasciniation in me. Quite disappointing actually…

So, today was one of the great days. A whole day of Grand Canyon, South Rim, was ahead of us.
Although the last two days were kinda featuring a slight flurry of snow, which quickly melted away, we were not quite prepared for what we saw when opening the curtains this morning. There actually was a blanket of snow. Not one of those big, fluffy ones, but enough to leave us a bit concerned regarding our trip.
