Wandering Scientist

This is the online journal of a young person on a journey to find the meaning of life. It contains the photography and stories of my travels, so that I might share those experiences, in part, with others.

Cold mornings at Grand Canyon; I woke to find my breath had crystallized into frost on the windows over night.

Photography can never do justice to the way it feels to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon and look down.

It snowed on me while I camped in Grand Canyon National Park! I was so delighted, and then I was so cold. ^.^

I don’t know this photographer, but I felt some small sense of solidarity, both of us standing alone along the rim in the flurries and the cold, taking photos of the amazing, ever-changing weather.

I’d never been above a rainbow before! It was snowing and the sun was just rising above the Canyon’s rim and this rainbow appeared down in the flurries.
