I walked thru all that snow to get this shot of the Watchtower at the Grand Canyon. I thought I never wanted to see snow, but that was because I had never seen it in Arizona. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The memories I have of our meetup in Arizona and all the time I spent with my friends there will always be held close in my heart.

Thank you so much for the nomination OC!

Bailey Cooper gave props (12 Apr 2012):
This image made me smile. Beyond the grandeur of the canyon the next thought out of the chute was... 'how much higher does one need to be'? The final image ---> Monty Python: "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts." Great shot.
