U welcome Akhi I think I need to get a micro lens 35 or 40m any one got one of them ? And how good is it?

Here are some pics of the Grand Canyon from the top and a couple from midway through the hike. The first four were taken from clifftops.

This last one came out weird, but I liked the colors. That was a little before sunset, around 6 hours from the 8 we walked that day.

I'll be posting more of some of the rivers, streams, and wildlife we saw down there insha Allah.

Nice, mashaAllah. Looks so awesome. I'm a little surprised by the snow, though. I wouldn't have suspected snow to fall there anytime throughout the year, let alone a month into spring.

**from water** · 26-Mar-2012 02:26 PM

Oh yeah it was cold up there, most likely because of the very high elevation. There was definitely a bed of snow throughout the little town on top and in the forest, but when you go down the canyon it melts and it becomes quite warm indeed but not hot. Al hamdulilah we came at a perfect time, because I hear in the summer it gets so hot it's practically an oven you do not want to venture into. Heck I got sunburned even though I was wearing sun block despite the warm not-too-hot weather.

Here are some pics of animals we saw:

Cute mountain squirrels, very friendly actually.

Awesome fox/coyote we saw.

Yup you can ride mules up/down the canyon.

Deer at the camp site.

Nice photos masha'Allah.

One day I want to shoot a deer like the one in your photo with by bow and eat it.

**UmmZ.** · 26-Mar-2012 04:29 PM

MashaAllah I always love your animal/insect shots FW.

**from water** · 26-Mar-2012 10:57 PM

Jazakumullahu khair guys, I'm glad you liked em

I've always wanted to try out deer too At-Ta'if... your post made me lol btw, it's just funny the way you said it

Here are some pics that give an idea of what you see while hiking:

As you can see the weather and terrain changes as you descend subhaan Allah. You go from snowy, to dry red desert, then at the bottom lush green lands, rivers/streams, all kinds of trees.

Akhi I said it as it is, purposely in a way that I knew would amuse you

**from water** · 28-Mar-2012 02:42 AM

Here are some more misc pics of the Grand Canyon that I either forgot to post or missed at the time. Some more animals:

Losts of ravens in the GC.

Here are some pics of some of the rocks/cliffs you can see there:

After this I'll post some pics of the road we took, since it was a 30+ hour drive we saw quite a lot of different landscapes and such. Plus I
ll post some random pics my friend took insha Allah.

Subhanallah...Geography lesson come alive !!

**from water** · 29-Mar-2012 12:50 AM

Some pictures we took on the road:

Mountains in Colorado:

These are pictures taken by my friend who was with us. He likes to take pictures of seemingly uninteresting things, like a bench, but he makes them nice to look at with their own sort of mood. I would say it's talent, since he has no formal training or that much experience in photography.

This is from a place in Santa Fe:

Cool stuff, the kind of thing I'd see on a site like interfacelift.

**SuBMiSSioN** · 29-Mar-2012 01:03 AM

wow mashaa'Allaah.. awesome photos.

**UmmZ.** · 29-Mar-2012 08:39 PM

FW inspired me to get back out there and take some shots. My back yard is as far as I've ventured so far with a teething baby

**from water** · 30-Mar-2012 09:04 AM

While I love insects/bugs of all kinds, especially bees (who's very name in Arabic suggests they are a gift from Allah), I like that first pic a lot more. I dunno, there's something about soft white fuzzy things in bright green backgrounds with more white fuzzy things that make one feel good for some reason. Maybe they remind me of bunny rabbits, or white puffy kittens.

So I bought this piece of pyrite from a place on our way to the grand canyon and I was just looking at it as it had a couple of CDs near it, and the light reflecting off the CDs gave it nice colors. So here's a pic:

Some shots from Afg about a month ago.

Kabul sunset :)

city's the mountainous backdrop

Bagh-e-Babur courtyard, Kabul

These, enroute Jalalabad (the one below is along the mountain side at a very high elevation, quite dangerous)

**At-Ta'if** · 03-Apr-2012 12:46 AM

I really like the second photo, it highlights how large those mountains actually are.

The great escape
