Back in the corner of a barn stuffed full of all manner of junk, I've discovered this setup. It's a table with a couple of formed pieces of metal with holes throughout that I imagine steam goes through. And, then, there are all these forms for different sizes and shapes. I've never seen one of these setup anywhere.
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.

Yesterday we took Jessie to her first ballet class. Does she have good form or what? :) Proud of my girl.
She loved the class. It's a once a week class for an hour each Saturday. It's a ballet/tap class, so we have to pick her up some little tap shoes too. She immediately took a liking to one of the other little girls in the class and ended up followed her around and partnering up with her.
YES
you can!
Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag 2020-08-23 på temat form. Ännu en "klassisk Magnus". Inget planerat under veckan blev en snabbt genomförd idé på lördagen när den dök upp i huvudet. Skönt att alltid ha en kamera i fickan nu för tiden.
Está formada por el Pazo de Fefiñans, el arco-puente, la atalaya Torre del Homenaje y por la Iglesia de San Benito, es un de los conjuntos arquitectónicos más bellos y admirados de Galicia, data del siglo XVI. Está rodeada de edificios históricos y monumentales.
Antiguamente era conocida como la plaza del mercado, pues era donde se celebraba semanalmente,
Esta plaza se encuentra en Cambados´, Galicia.
This little mason bee is busy sealing up her egg chambers to protect them from the outside world for many months to come. Maybe we all feel a bit like those eggs at present in our various forms of isolation.
This is a quarter view of a 1955 Mercury D-528 concept car at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California. The rounded fenders were actually functional -- a spare tire was beneath one and a gas tank beneath the other.
The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
I go different ways on my long walks to and from work, and noticed this display the other day. On my way home I purposely went this way again to capture this image through the window.
