Best Seat in the House - a photo on Flickriver

            Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon, Arizona

Don't worry about me. It wasn't straight down from my perch. I would have bounced off the rock wall several times before reaching the bottom . . . 1,000 feet below. :-) I would have liked to have sat on the protruding rock just below and ahead of me (from there, it would have been straight down), but THAT would have been crazzzzy.

Since it was, for me, far longer to climb out here than my camera's timer would allow, I enlisted the help of a young woman to take the photo with my camera. I looked for someone who had a nice camera themselves to recruit, and she fit the bill. I still count it as a self-portrait as I set up the camera and told her where to stand and where to focus exactly.

And yes, I have all of my clothes on. I suspect that of the hundreds of people who were here, several of them might have objected to the "donning" of my usual attire.
