I had often wondered what void means. Trying to create a mental picture. Ma'neesho fahmideh boodam, vali haalim nashodeh bood. Well Grand Canyon is an ocean of void surrounded by rocks of many shades of orange. Beautiful beyond belief.

This was my first hike down a canyon. Was a very strange feeling, similar to watching a piece of negative film. With your brain trying to multiply every pixel by -1. Usually after hours of hiking you get to the peak and then you have the whole area under your feet, but here you start at the top of the world and gradually go down, step by step, disappearing below the horizon, towards the center of the Earth.

At the end of the hike, just before getting to the Colorado river, you had to go through this pitch black tunnel (later I realized it wouldn't have been so dark, had I remembered to take off my sunglasses) and then over a suspension bridge. It's a nice climax for a long steep journey.
