Canyons 2010 by Michal Huniewicz

These are pictures of the Grand Canyon and the Antelope Canyon.
I have seen many impressive places in my life. In most cases they look nothing like they do in pictures. They look plain and disappointing. But with the Grand Canyon it's the opposite. The pictures can't show the beauty of that place - it is literally the most impressive thing I have ever seen.

It turns out that in order to have beams of light shining inside the canyon you must go there not only at the right day time, but also between March 15 and October 7. Anyhow, I was a bit too late.
After the canyon we went to a Mexican restaurant for some spicy food.
