"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

While I don't share Fitzgerald's affinity for New York City, I feel the same wild promise whenever I catch first light on the Grand Canyon. No matter how many times I visit, it always just knocks me over. June 2017.
