Nothing could have perpared me for this scene. No words. No images. No nothing - could have foretold of its unfolding. Its grand majesty. Its presence. Its color. It's beauty. It's fortitude and strength.

Altho one who prefers the more intimate details that tell a story - it was hard not to want to capture this vision in its entirety. Out of the desert scrub the red rock cliffs and canyons left me dazzled and dazed.

Awe-struck.

How is it possible that there be such beauty? How is it possible that out of nothing and nowhere - there is this?

It is..it was - no question or doubt - far more impressive than I can even begin to attempt to describe. Not with my words..nor with the aid of my camera's lens. I couldn't..I wouldn't dare to be that bold and brave. I could never do it justice.

Awe-struck. I was. I am.
