Roadwork this past weekend caused me to be stationary as I was driving around Alberta’s countryside. If you’re going to get stuck in traffic jam, it might as well somewhere with rewarding scenery like this.

Another shot from my visit to Arizona this winter: Peering through some of the greenery at Hermit’s Rest along the Grand Canyon’s south rim.

The tour guide who safely led our party through the Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona, last month took a lot of his time to point out rock formations that happened to resemble people’s faces or animals in battle. Frankly, I had some trouble seeing some of them … but this one was easy to visualize — cock your head and look straight up to find “Rocky Mountain”.

Rock solid. Between a rock and a hard place. Hard as a rock. So many of expressions and clichés are built upon the durability of rocks.
And yet, wandering through the maze that makes up the Lower Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, one can only be struck by how malleable rock truly is.
It was water that carved out the canyon. And with every summer rainstorm, it is water that continues to shape and reshape the place.
The result is visually stunning, of course — sunlight giving life to a wavy, rippling red-rock landscape reaching dozens of metres deep.

Sometimes, nature gives you handy hints about you where you should look, as in this scene at Hopi Point along the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

As the sun dipped below the horizon on this day a few weekends ago, there was still enough natural light to capture this scene from a viewpoint at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona.

This is the view from one of the many breathtaking viewpoints along Hermit Road in Grand Canyon National Park, at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona. Our party had been dodging clouds on and off, all afternoon, a couple of Fridays ago and it was fortunate they had moved along far enough by day’s end to allow for some decent photography.
