As I sit here lightly rubbing a stone from my collection from Ward I cannot help but again feel as I did the first time I witnessed the reflections of glory captured in your early photo's. This landscape is so radically different, powerful, and mysterious. I look upon something that seems so solid, and yet I know is changing before my eyes, in little bits, constantly. What a stranger I am in this alien vista, and yet how it calls to me inviting me to bask in it's beauty, learning, and loving it.
Many thanks for helping the world to see & share all that the land has! You live in one of the most beautiful area's I have ever seen.
