The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

This is a shot of the remarkable Chancel Crucifix in the Basílica dela Sagrada Família. Gaudi has designed some breathtaking structures in the Basilica, most are stunningly beautiful, but a few bits and pieces for me end up looking a bit comedic. In almost every case, he has added his own unique and non-conventional spin on otherwise very traditional conventions. I guess he was the original shock artist. This crucifix with its canopy is no exception, meant to symbolize not just the death of Jesus, but his subsequent ascension into Heaven, with everything, focused on the ascension, not the death, including Jesus' upturned face, with the crucifix entirely lifted off the ground and suspended as if floating. So, pun very much intended, a very uplifting portrayal of the crucifixion.
Clearly, Gaudi's concept pre-dated parachutes or even aircraft, so clearly not his intent, but I cannot get the image of a parachuting Jesus out of my head.

Notice how the color of the fabric of the canopy matches the stonework and light.

Eventually the sun and the wind combined to peel off the fog that had settled over night on Lake Louisa.
At Chapel Green Crowborough, during Lock-Down, people have been placing decorated stones around the perimeter to form a stone snake. There are now hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. Some are just decorated, some are in memorial and some with thanks to the Key Workers. It is a really uplifting sight. Here are just a few to give you an idea. More are being added every day.
The image should enlarge nicely for more detail
The Chateau wonderland ( Chateau de La Hulpe) is experiencing its own Springtime awakenings! And walking in there , even when cloudy -- like that morning with my Alexandra -- it is an uplifting Nature-experience!
After you sink, the only direction to go is up.
I'm really annoyed at myself for not spending enough time editing and uploading,
so my goal this week is to try and upload everyday. Not making any promises, but I'm feeling inspired! (1/7)

A more 'classic' view of the interior of library at the London School of Economics & Politics, with its sweeping and swirling staircase. Love the way that the lift looks like it will eject you right through the roof. This location was a brilliant end to our visit to the London Open House event.
Even in the frigid temperatures of winter, the warm sandstone colors of the canyons of Zion uplift the soul. All around the park, evaporated water leaves behind a white residue, here following the curves of a dry creek bed.
Buds on my miniature cherry tree - almost ready to open. A promise of spring blossom, & of summer to come.

It has been over a month since Boeing restarted deliveries of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner after what has been a tumultuous 2020 and 2021 for the company after production and subsequent deliveries were halted for well-over a year; whilst those manufactured and in storage across the United States undergo necessary modifications with Charleston, Everett and Victorville are just a number of locations that are providing the necessary work to get the Boeing 787 re-certified for delivery.
British Airways became the 5th airline worldwide to take delivery of the Boeing 787 since given the green light by the US-based Federal Aviation Administration to deliver the wide-body jet on the basis that necessary rectification have taken place. Once again, deliveries will be slow as Boeing have a backlog of the type to modify before customers accept the aircraft.
For British Airways, whilst the carrier has since started to accept the remaining Boeing 787-10s on-order, deliveries are currently out of sync; prior to production halting, Boeing had manufactured 5 Boeing 787-10s for British Airways but weren't ablate deliver them having to be placed into storage awaiting their necessary modifications. Now, 4 are currently undergoing production testing before they begin their necessary flight testing from both Boeing and British Airways prior to delivery.
With deliveries now recommencing, it should be noted that British Airways have already begun the process adjusting their schedule with further Boeing 787-10s being scheduled to operate more long-haul flights. Including the latest delivery, British Airways is expected to take receive 7 Boeing 787-10s for 2022, with the last remaining 2 to arrive by 2023.
Currently, British Airways operates 33 Boeing 787s, which includes 12 Boeing 787-8s, 18 Boeing 787-9s and 2 Boeing 787-10s. British Airways have 9 Boeing 787-10s on-order.
Zulu Bravo Lima Bravo is one of 3 Boeing 787-10s in service with British Airways, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 29th June 2020 and she is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-TEN engines.

They are in the processing of installing a new sanitary pump station at the end of Wilson Point. Currently there is a large 'ugly' crane there assisting with the construction. I think it looks kind of cool, and as it is near the airport, they have a bright safety colored crane there.
Against the bright blue sky, the orange really popped there in the sky. So hopefully this is an 'uplifting' photo to brighten your day ;))
I felt like I needed to make a better one to outbuild some of these fools. :3
George adjusted the feed to his comm link...
"Where's the rest of your team, trooper?"
"Scattered, dead. I don't know."
Before he had the chance to respond back, a phantom directed fire towards his Warthog.
As multiple plasma rounds splashed onto the LRV, George noticed the hull was burning.
"Jump!" He warned the Marines.
It was too late. The Warthog exploded to pieces, just as he let his hands fly off of the chaingun's handle.
George was bruised from the rough landing. The Phantom, believing the troopers were eliminated, went back to it's buisness and soared off into the distance.
George pulled himself up and began making haste towards an executive building that was occupied by other UNSC forces.
While under fire.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. This woman was dancing with a great degree of fervour to Clanadonia on Buchanan Street. She was very happy indeed, or perhaps celebrating the purchase of her first push up bra! I just love this shot and she laughed even more after seeing me take it! Enjoy!
I couldn't resist posting one more shot from the sunset out at Veteran's Memorial Park in Avon Lake the other night. It was so relaxing watching this paddleboarder and her dog enjoying the beautiful display of colors in the sky.
