On the way to Grand Canyon. Στον δρόμο για το Γκραν Κάνυον

While we were in Las Vegas, we booked a tour to visit the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It was still dark when then tour bus collected us from our hotel, and the sunrise found us on the way to the park. Here are some photographs taken from inside the bus as the first rays of the sun were coloring the deserts and the mountain tops.
Όσο βρισκόμαστε στο Λας Βέγκας, πήραμε ένα τουρ για να επισκεφτούμε το Εθνικό Πάρκο του Γκραν Κάνυον στην Αριζόνα. Ήταν ακόμη νύχτα όταν ξεκινήσαμε από το ξενοδοχείο. Εδώ έχω μερικές φωτογραφίες που τράβηξα μέσα από το αυτοκίνητο καθώς ξημέρωνε και οι πρώτες ακτίνες του ήλιου έπεφταν στην έρημο και τις βουνοκορφές.

Fantastic captures as always, Costas! That's a great tour that you took and I'm glad you got to see another -- more natural part of my country! Looks as though you had a great trip! Have a wonderful week, my friend!
