Colorado River Sunset Spires
View Large........To observers on the rim anyone riding the Colorado appears as a speck...that is how far away the river bed is from the rim...miles....so...you can observe the river and everything on it..but not well. But, from the top, you can see how the river fits into the surrounding environment and the particularly how it moves through the area. The observer is often tricked into seeing or not seeing based on distance and perception of size......binoculars help......a telescope is better.....being there is the best! To me, it looks like these hills were painted in behind the river...what a contrast with the rough foreground areas with jagged edges and rough appearance. And these ARE the colors..the river color is just right...

(Thanks to that great photographer and preacher Albert Einstein) and observer
Standing…point in time…the observer changes what he sees.
Nothing is observed without changing it.
What do you change?
What do you see?
Beauty observed is beauty changed…
Observers see answers.
No answer is given without a question.
What do you change?
What do you see?
Observing, the observer is changed.
The observed changes the observer.
What do you change?
What do you see?
Observing is not limited by time…Time is a river…
Observers ride the river.
Eventually, what we observe becomes a part of us.
What do you change?
What do you see?
Observing…I have seen the Observer…
And truly…He has seen me.
