A couple take a load off their feet at the Lincoln Memorial, Easter 2017.
Perhaps, the fact that this is during Easter sunrise service on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the image conveys in a more chaste manner what other couples might do on Spring Break.
Congrats on Explore!

Grand Canyon National Park
South Rim
Arizona, USA
I'm always amazed at how the Grand Canyon can look so different with the season, time of day and cloud cover.
The Grand Canyon was formed over 5 to 6 million of years by the erosion caused by the Colorado River. Many visitors are surprised with the cool rim temperatures, but with the South Rim at an elevation ranging to over 7,000 feet, winter snow averages about 60 inches a year. The North Rim elevation is about 1,000 feet higher and receives an average of 144 inches of snow a year and is closed from mid-autumn to mid-spring.
The photo was taken during the afternoon with the warmer light of a late autumn day. I am often amazed at just how much the light difference from season of the year, time of day and the clouds influence the colors viewed from any location within the park.
The canyon is more than 200 miles long 12 miles wide and a mile deep. The national park is visited by about 6 million people a year. On a clear day, like this one, it is possible to see for 100 miles and the distance across to the North Rim seems to shrink.
There are always visitors at the South Rim of the park, but during the winter season, it is possible to find overlooks with few or no other visitors. One can find a sense of serenity when viewing a scene like this especially when viewing it alone.
On a sad note, while millions of visitors respect the beauty of the work of Mother Nature, on this trip, we saw that a few felt compelled to use markers on some of the safety walls and leave behind messages, initials, etc.

A daylily or day lily is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis, a member of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. Despite the common name, it is not in fact a lily. Gardening enthusiasts and horticulturists have long bred daylily species for their attractive flowers. Wikipedia

In 1850, Dr. William Clark built a beautiful limestone mansion known as the Stone House, which stands to this day. Alexander Zeigler bought the house in 1868. He was a steamboat captain on the Mississippi for 30 years. The home has eight rooms, 24-inch walls and a 10-foot cupola. Capt. Zeigler and his family lived in this house on a farm of 450 acres
