Down Into It

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

Looking straight down into the inner canyon from the South Rim, a juniper anchoring the bottom corner of the frame. Two thousand feet to the Tonto Platform, four thousand feet from the platform to the river. Hard to make a photograph that conveys the scale; this one tries.
