This is a HD wide format Powerpoint with some animations. Best to download it and view it on wide screen monitor. This series of photos were taken during my visit to the United States in Sep 2014. Because of the immense distances and the volume of air between the camera and scenery, all the images were darken and blue cast removed to allow the vivid colours to come through, to show its true beauty. The Grand Canyon is some 446 km long in length and 29 km wide. It was carved out by the Colorado River some 5.5 million years ago, when a giant lake on the Colorado Plateau was emptied by the river. In this process the river exposes some 2 billion years of geological history of the area.
