Want To Go Wednesday: Grand Canyon

Photos like this make me wish two things. 1- I wish I was standing on that ledge looking out at one of the most beautiful places in America. 2- I wish I could take photos this beautiful. Since I don’t see either of those happening immmediately today, I’ll just continue to be taken away by Jesse Chehak’s photography.
