The greatest wonder of the natural world2007-08-23 15:48When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.
After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me.“Am I going the right way?”I asked. He knew where I was going. “ Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was sill too dark to see anything.
Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. . I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.
I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me.If you put the three tallest buildinge in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . How far is it?It’s 20 kilometres , maybe more. Finally , I looked to my left and to my left and to my right , and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance … over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!
That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question . It’s not “How deep is it ?” or “How wide is it ?” or “How long is it ? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world ? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?
