THE GRAND CANYON AFTER A STORM. The famous naturalist
John Burroughs called the mile-deep Grand Canyon "The world's most
wonderful spectacle, ever-changing, alive with a million moods." Both
the brilliant coloring and seemingly the very shapes of the walls,
capes, and temples change with sun and shadow, with the coming of
morning, noon, and night. And if there is moonlight, outlines of the
mighty abyss show, in a silver light, a thousand spectral forms
projected from the inscrutable gloom. (Courtesy Fred Harvey,
