From the West rim, the helicopter, a bit off center to the left, appears to be a dragonfly. Most of the time, folks can never imagine the degree of immensity and depth. I have visited the Canyon over 9 times and am always in awe! :)

Such a fine shot this is! Even got the sight seeing copter in it! Can you imagine what a great spiritual place this was for the true Native Americans. Such a wonder it must have been.

Great capture! I think it is great due to the helicopter for scale. People that have never been there often do not have an understanding of the true scale of the place, but a shot like this gives them something to relate to. And this is just the rim! I've been to both the north and south rim, wish I could have a few years to thoroughly explore the place, LOL!

I didn't see the helicopter until viewing in a larger size. Beautiful colors and textures in this, Vanda. Wonderful shot!

Great shot. The helicopter does begin to make you see how grand it really is.

A nice view of the big hole in the ground. It beats the drainage ditch out by the road in front of home for scale. I don't think you could get a toy chopper in it without it hitting the sides. Good textures in the rock layers of the canyon. This could us a little work on the lighting, deepen the shadows, up the contrasts, that type of thing.
