canyonlands








Ten million years ago the Colorado Plateau was thrust upwards from an ancient sea. Since then wind, rain and time have conspired to shape it...
Ten million years.
10,000,000.
Longer then all of our hopes and dreams.
Longer then all of our triumphs and sorrows.
Longer then the history of every state that has ever existed.
Longer then their greatest accomplishments.
Longer then their most magnificent defeats.
Ten million years...
Longer than man has walked on this planet.
We are all nanoseconds,
go do something with yours.

  1. Hubert,
    the photos are beautiful....it's exciting to follow your journey. It seems unlikely but if you pass back through Nevada I would love to see you. I'm living in Fallon, NV and doing conservation work for the next 5 months.
