Series on my trip to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA) - NORTH AMERICA - Visiting LAS VEGAS, LAKE MEAD, HOOVER DAM, RED ROCK CANYON and the VALLEY OF FIRE (NEVADA), the GRAND CANYON - WEST AND SOUTH RIMS (ARIZONA), BRYCE CANYON, RED CANYON and ZION CANYON (UTAH) and finally CHICAGO (ILLINOIS) - From APRIL 05th to 24th, 2012 - # 017 !

LEAVING THE GRAND CANYON'S WEST RIM BY PLANE !

The main reason I went to LAS VEGAS was to visit its surroundings (nearby or not). One of the options was to know the GRAND CANYON'S WEST RIM (by bus, by car or by helicopter)! Since I really didn't know whether I'd ever go back there, I decided to do everything I could, so, my tour to that place included: a bus from LAS VEGAS to BOULDER CITY; a plane from BOULDER CITY to the GRAND CANYON'S WEST RIM, flying over the HOOVER DAM and LAKE MEAD; a helicopter, flying over the CANYON and going down to the COLORADO RIVER; a boat, navigating in the COLORADO RIVER; a helicopter, going up again to the edges to the CANYON; a bus to visit the surroundings, including in the SKYWALK in the EAGLE'S POINT and finally, a plane, back to BOULDER CITY and a bus, back to LAS VEGAS!

This picture was taken while leaving that wonderful place, in the same airplane I arrived there, completely satisfied with the adventure... very happy!

Caro amico Neyvan,
forse ancora più bello del precedente post che era fantastico.
In questo si apprezza molto bene la profondità del canyon scavato dagli agenti naturali.
Le tonalità calde del pomeriggio sono stupende.
Parabens!!
Buona giornata
Mario

Olá Neyvan,
otra toma aérea impresionante, donde podemos apreciar la inmensa belleza del Grand Canyon, en una imagen muy nítida a pesar de tomarla desde el avión.
La luminosidad y los colores de la foto tienen mucha calidad, y la composición es profunda y muy gráfica.
Excelente trabajo, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Buena colección de fotos sobre Estados Unidos, todas son impresionantes, me gusta esta especialmente: los colores la luz del atardecer (creo) la textura da impresión de irrealidad. En general un buen trabajo, gracias por enseñarnos las fotos. Un saludo desde España.
