USA (November, 2000) – While the previous trips were fantastic, the journey around the Grand Canyon was majestic. We arrived in Canyon De Chelly to mild weather and blooming fruit trees, under a dusting of snow. There was an atmospheric change as we navigated our way into the canyon. From the canyon's inner sanctum surrounded by petroglyphs and pictographs; the white house ruins and sandstone cliffs, a brilliant sight came into view, we watched a bird of prey superimpose its shadows on the desert varnished surface.
