Photos of Grand Canyon, Arizona

Photos by Lee Smith

I took a trip with my wife to Arizona in October 2013. The traveled from Phoenix to Page and then to the Grand Canyon. The landscape is spectacular. I could spend months traveling across Arizona photographing every scenic location. My trip to the Grand Canyon was awe inspiring. I captured sunrises and sunsets as well as some time during the day. The cool night air and the warm days made this trip just wonderful. Below are some of my photos of this magical place.

Arlington Cemetery, Virginia

Photos by Lee Smith

This was a very humbling experience where I felt deep sorry and emotions while I spent time exploring the Arlington Cemetery. There is a high degree of respect and honor felt and displayed. Not only by how the well the grounds are maintained but by the very people that visit this National Landmark. Watching the changing of the guard at the Unknown Soldier’s Tomb was a dedicated display of how serious those on duty here take their responsibilities. The thousands of tombstones lining the landscape seem endless. All those brave men and women that gave their lives so this country can pursue it’s freedoms – seems that this country paid a very high price to see our country as it is today.

A trip to Washington DC is like a trip back into history. Each monument brings it’s own set of stories and events in the history of the United States of America.
