Page, Arizona
Day 8
Sunrise over Lake Powell
April 27, 2013
This was my last day in paradise, or I mean Page! I woke, dressed then drove off down Lakeshore Drive to Wahweap Scenic Point to wait for the sunrise. It couldn't have been more perfect. I wasn't sure what was happening when an arch started to form. That was a first for me to see. Then the sun came up! The start of a brand new day. I stayed a little while longer to watch the color cast over the land. The greens were greener and the reds looked redder. As I turned to go to the Soul, the moon was so close I could almost reach out and touch it. It was setting and saying good-bye! I sat on the bench, I felt a bit sad. It was time to head home, back to reality. This trip was more then I dreamed it could have been! I left no sight unseen, I made the most of every moment. I feel fulfilled!
What a contrast to where you normally hike. The colours and formations so spectacular. Thanks for sharing with your awesome photography.
ReplyDeleteI was called in today to teach science to 9 year olds. On arrival I was informed that the lesson was on wind erosion.
ReplyDeleteYour trip to Arizona was well timed and your photographs have now starred in a Queensland classroom!
The children were awed by the formations and colours. Their favourite was The Bend.
