Black Bridge In The Grand Canyon   Leave a comment

The Black Bridge in the Grand Canyon — Image by kenne

The Black Bridge is officially called the Kaibab Suspension Bridge. It carries the South Kaibab Trail across the Colorado River and is the bridge used by hikers and mule trains traveling to and from Phantom Ranch. The raft below the bridge appears tiny, yet the bridge itself spans about 440 feet across the Colorado River. The Black Bridge and the nearby Silver Bridge are the only crossings of the river for many miles in either direction.

Two Couples On the Edge — Image by kenne

Tourists whisper,
ravens circle.

Four figures at the rim, 
two arm in arm
above the wide breathing earth.

Even here, at the Grand Canyon,
love tries to hold the horizon. 

Click.

The photograph holds them
for a moment.

Grand Canyon, Last Light — Image by kenne

Canyon, Last Light

Gold runs
over stone’s edge—
the gorge split,
river burning,
already gone.

Shadow climbs,
slow & certain,
taking what
the sun leaves.

The sky cracks,
silent furnace
cooling.

She walks near the edge

Carries her dog for safety

Scrub-Jay lands nearby.

A view to the north

With its layered bands of red rock

Near the end of day.

Elk Going for A Late Afternoon Stroll In the Grand Canyon (October 4, 2021) — Imahe by kenne

The elk move at their own pace
not showing any fear of humans
and their cars driving in the park.

Looking so gentle walking across
a park road, but beware of one of
the most dangerous animals in the park.

The People and Their Canyon — Images by kenne

For some the canyon
the people’s national park
to be shared with all.

For some the canyon
should have limited access
preserving nature.

For some the canyon
can be both shared and preserved
through naturalism.

Oh, blue bird, blue bird
High above the canyon floor
Looking gray and blue

Perching on a limb
Less blue against the blue sky
Doubtless a female.

Grand Canyon Panoramas (June 14, 2016) — Images by kenne

Grand, magnificent Canyon,
Where flows that wild, matchless stream,
That races its way through the mountains,
Where earth in its making is seen:
Where temple, cathedral, and castle,
Minaret, steeple, and dome,
Were carved by the mighty world builders,
From mountains on mountains of stone.
