Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GRCSS_030602_028.JPG: Way down there are the blue waters of the Colorado River. When I was on this rim four years before, it had just been a muddy stream.
2. GRCSS_030602_176.JPG: That light line on the plateau is the Bright Angel Trail
3. GRCSS_030602_293.JPG: Look closely on the trail and you'll see some dots. Those are mules carrying tourists up from the mesa. The trail itself is the Bright Angel Trail, which ends at the tip of the mesa at Plateau Point.
4. GRCSS_030602_350.JPG: Bruce Guthrie posing from the balcony of the Lookout Studio. Many of my pictures of the California Condors were taken from this location as they flew past.
5. GRCSS_030602_365.JPG: The buildings are part of Grand Canyon Village. You can see a mule train having made its way almost to the top. Kolb Studio, built in 1903-04 by two brothers who decided to exploit tourism in the area by setting up a photographic studio here, is the dark brown structure in front on the left.
6. GRCSS_030602_428.JPG: The Orphan Mine
7. GRCSS_030602_446.JPG: Grand Canyon
8. GRCSS_030602_705.JPG: It is thought that the first Europeans to see the Grand Canyon saw it from here. The year was 1540 and soldiers from Francisco Vasquez de Coronado's Spanish expedition came here. They spent three days trying to find a path to the bottom of the canyon and finally gave up and returned to Coronado to report their discovery.
9. GRCSS_030602_738.JPG: In the distance are the San Francisco Peaks, once active volcanoes, which are about 48 miles south of here. Despite the name, they include the highest point in Arizona (not California); Humphreys Peak. (The peaks were named by Franciscan monks long before San Francisco itself got its name.)
10. GRCSS_030602_772.JPG: Indian Watchtower. The tower was another Mary Colter design. The 70-foot-tall tower, built with a steel framework, opened in 1932.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
