Description:
While visiting the Grand Canyon in Arizona, my whole family and I were amazed by how far the canyon went and how wide it stretched. The canyon was truly an amazing site, including many different types of animal species, plants and artifacts. There was no end to what you could investigate within the walls of the canyon. Just by looking at it, you can tell so much about what had been there, and what might occur. While watching the beautiful sunset, setting over the canyon, I noticed that my older brother was sitting on a ledge, enjoying the beauty of the scene. I found that this would make a great picture and snapped a few photos of him through different angles. I wanted to capture his bodily expression as he gazed thoughtfully into the vast expansion that is the Grand Canyon. In the end, I was satisfied that I captured a picture of him wondering so much about the canyon's past. I debated on digitally editing this photo, but I felt like it was unnecessary since the natural beauty of the canyon projected itself onto the image. Even I investigated as well, looking for different species of animals and trying to figure out how far the river stretched. You can investigate anything really, but it's up to you in your imagination to determine what you will find next.
