Reds and greens from the aurora as well as city lights reflect off the service module solar arrays with the Milky Way core behind the space station. The solar arrays and service module are bathed in a light horizon blue from a sun about to rise behind the camera.

4 pm update, Tues, October 12, 2021. After being in a snowstorm for most of the day, the fog and clouds parted to reveal the canyon. Expect below freezing temperatures tonight and Wednesday morning, with a gradual warming trend this weekend. 📷NPS/E. Keable, NPS/J. Baird. #AZWX

Geologist Clarence Dutton (in 1882) named many of the canyon’s formations "temples", after Eastern religious or spiritual deities like Shiva or Vishnu. Cliffs, slopes, alcoves, plateaus, mesas, buttes, terraces, and platforms all make up what are called temples in Grand Canyon.

“Life is something like innumerable layers, leaving us wrongly assuming that the first or even the second layer is the essence of the thing.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough

Grand Canyon's exposed geologic strata, layer upon layer, presents a record of geological history.

Have a safe and memorable visit to Grand Canyon this Labor Day Weekend. Stay on designated trails and walkways. Always keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet (2 m) from the edge of the rim —when there is no railing. More tips: https://t.co/17zBIyoVI4 #Arizona #LaborDayWeekend

“If there is a point to being in the canyon, it is not to rush but to linger, suspended in a blue-and-amber haze of in-between-ness, for as long as one possibly can. To float, to drift, savoring the pulse of the river on its odyssey through the canyon..." ― Kevin Fedarko

“Earth is ancient now, but all knowledge is stored up in her. She keeps a record of everything that has happened since time began... Through time, her secret codes have gradually been broken. Her mud and lava is a message from the past." ― Jeanette Winterson #Geology #Arizona

Who’s up for a little weekend adventure? Famous for its paternoster lakes (series of glacial lakes connected by a single stream system), @RockyNPS in #Colorado always has you thinking, “I wonder what’s over that hill.”
