One thing I found completely amazing while overlooking The Grand Canyon is that people would walk right out onto the ledges and rocks. There are no fences (thank god) or anything to stop them. If you look at the first image, you’ll see the people on the rocks. Crazy! No thanks, I’ll wave from a distance, lol.
The second shot is of a couple sitting on the edge of the rocks. I thought they looked so cute. Maybe they were on their honeymoon. I should’ve gotten their email address so I could send them this picture. Who knows…maybe they will see it someday. 🙂

Thank you! 🙂 I can’t wait to go back to Arizona. I think we are going next year too.
April 13, 2015 at 8:18 am
You’re welcome! For photographer’s it’s quite the playground!
April 13, 2015 at 8:20 am
Totally! I’d love to see Monument Valley too next time.
April 13, 2015 at 8:12 am
I am glad there are no fences to spoil that natural beauty of the scene but since I have a crippling fear of heights it makes me feel entirely queasy to see anyone close to the edge. When I was there – all the way back in 2000 – my husband and his brother pretended to fall off the edge (there was actually a ledge below) and I was very much not amused. It may be some time before I take my boys (aged 5, 8, 9 and almost 12) to see the Grand Canyon for just that very reason – they will delight in freaking me out.
April 13, 2015 at 8:15 am
OMG! I would’ve freaked. No jokes like that please. I’d have a heart attack. I’m glad there are no fences as well.

Absolutely Breathtakingly Beautiful Laura!

Thank you John. 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 9:35 am
So sweet 😊
April 13, 2015 at 6:18 pm
Totally 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 9:42 am
Beautiful shots, Laura! It’s often the unbalanced people who (ironically) hang out at the edge… thinking that they have balance and poise! 😉
April 13, 2015 at 6:19 pm
Omg I’m cracking up! I love the irony of that. Thank you Tom.
April 13, 2015 at 9:51 am
Beautiful captures, Laura! 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 6:20 pm
Thank you Amy!

I’m glad you like them Herman. :-). I need to go back next year. It’s so beautiful.
April 13, 2015 at 11:18 am
Stunning shots as always and really love the couple one! 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 6:21 pm
Thank you Inge. I like the couple too. ❤️
April 13, 2015 at 11:55 am
I guess that means you didn’t walk on the overlook that takes you a bit past the canyon rim. 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 6:22 pm
Well I would’ve had we had time. At least there’s someone enclosing you in a bit. We did the helicopter instead. 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 12:22 pm
Amazing beautiful Laura 😀
April 13, 2015 at 6:22 pm
Thanks so much Irene. 🙂
April 13, 2015 at 1:07 pm
Lovely colours
April 13, 2015 at 6:22 pm
Thank you!
April 13, 2015 at 7:49 pm
love the hat.
i don’t think i would go the the edge either.
April 13, 2015 at 8:42 pm
I’ve done enough living on the edge LOL! I like the hat too.
April 13, 2015 at 9:48 pm
Wonderful pictures, Laura. Keep ’em coming.
April 14, 2015 at 8:42 am
Thanks Tommy!
April 14, 2015 at 12:22 am
What a breath taking place and for more reason that the beauty-that s way to high of this old broad. Love the couple sitting on the edge.
April 14, 2015 at 8:42 am
Thank you 🙂 I love that couple too!
April 14, 2015 at 2:27 am
Wonderful pics! I’m scared of heights .. No way I could do that! Phew ..
April 14, 2015 at 8:43 am
Thank you Julie! I don’t like heights like that where I’m subject to falling. I’m too klutzy lol.
April 14, 2015 at 2:33 am
Amazing!!
I think I would wave from the distance too 😀
April 14, 2015 at 8:43 am
😀 Thank you.
April 14, 2015 at 3:25 am
Not being scared of heights I love to get out there on the very edge, what views one gets to see… ;love the photos…
April 14, 2015 at 8:43 am
You’re one of THEM! lol Thank you Rob. 🙂
April 14, 2015 at 5:22 am
Another great pair of images, Laura. Excellent framing on the image of the couple.
April 14, 2015 at 8:44 am
Thank you Robin. That couple is just so darn cute.
April 14, 2015 at 6:56 am
I love to take pictures of people and then send it to them. There’s a joy in being the unplanned photographer that capture the adventure. Nice job with the picture of the couple!
April 14, 2015 at 8:18 am
Gorgeous photos. I’m with you though . . . I’ll keep a little distance between me and the edge. I’m not sure-footed enough to not slip and fall.
April 14, 2015 at 8:58 am
Thank you! Yes I won’t be going near that edge!
April 14, 2015 at 10:29 am
Gorgeous Laura, truly wonderful images of an unforgettable place!
I also wanted to let you know that my blog has changed. I lost all my content and followers during a transfer. If you would still like to follow me, my new blog address is: west517photos.wordpress.com

April 14, 2015 at 3:28 pm
Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked the images. And thank you for giving me your new blog address. I’ll go there now and click the follow. 🙂
April 14, 2015 at 12:22 pm
I love and trust my husband 190%, but his hand on my back, at the edge of a cliff?……never gonna happen! That’s assuming you could get me to the edge of a cliff in the first place.
I loved seeing all your photos from this trip…absolutely GORGE…OUS (pun intended) 🙂
April 14, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Wonderful shots, Laura. It would be neat if the couple could see the picture one day. But I’m sure they treasure the memory of that lovely spot.
Blessings ~ Wendy ❀
April 14, 2015 at 3:32 pm
Thank you Wendy. I was so in awe of what I was seeing I just didn’t think of it. It would be fun to stumble upon it some day over the web. Can you imagine? 30 years later?? 😉
April 14, 2015 at 7:18 pm
If it’s meant to be–it will happen. ❀
April 14, 2015 at 4:55 pm
more spectacular and love on the edge!!
April 15, 2015 at 7:58 am
Yes 😀
April 15, 2015 at 2:38 pm
Oh I love the photo of the couple together 🙂 Very tender!
April 15, 2015 at 3:18 pm
Thank you Sarah 🙂 Just fyi, I’m away from my blog for a few days. Didn’t want you to think I was ignoring you!
April 15, 2015 at 3:44 pm
No worries hun! Have fun 🙂
April 17, 2015 at 3:41 am
oh i LOVE the grand canyon, it ist just amazing and one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever seen. i sat there too, it only looks dangerous from behind as there is a path below (as far as i remember 🙂 )
April 17, 2015 at 10:31 am
Glad you like it too :). I don’t think there was a path right there but I could be mistaken. I didn’t want to go near the edge lol
April 17, 2015 at 6:53 am
Wonderful photos Laura, as usual. I guess those folks who dance on the edge of a cliff aren’t familiar with the danger…. 🙂
April 17, 2015 at 10:32 am
Yeah I guess not! Thank you jet 🙂
April 17, 2015 at 5:37 pm
Both are fantastic but for me there is so much about the 1st one I love. The colour and depth to this photo is marvellous and the clarity does this so much justice. You’ve done a great job capturing the scale of the grand canyon.
April 17, 2015 at 10:24 pm
Thank you so much Mark. I really appreciate your comments.
