The Road to Perdition - a photo on Flickriver

            Several years ago, I was traveling across country to relocate for work.  I took the opportunity to do a very little bit of sightseeing along the way.  You see, somewhere, just under that horizon is the Grand Canyon.  And I was getting a little bit of photography fever...

Arizona SR 64 is the most traveled way to reach the Grand Canyon, which is why they have a speed trap near the Valle airport, I suppose.  As the patrolman was busy running my information and writing up the ticket, I couldn't help but grab my camera and capture the scene before me.  The dead straight horizon, the crystal blue sky (save for the small cluster of clouds ahead), and the lone red butte made me wonder about the people who traveled this way years before....
