We stayed in Flagstaff and had a long journey between there and the canyon. This was what we saw out the window for much of the way. Despite warning signs, we did not see leaping deer or hitch-hiking elk.
My visit to San Diego in November 2000 included the American holiday of Thanksgiving. I thought this was a time spent at home. Nattie's mother and stepfather believe that it's a time to travel hundreds of miles away from home - specifically to Arizona and the Grand Canyon.
In November, this part of Arizona is cold, and there is snow on the ground.

This was taken close by the Grand Canyon. I airbrushed out her
watch and the logo on her T-shirt.

Note the scattered snow on the canyon wall.

After sunset it very quickly got dark, though not quite as
dark as this picture suggests.
