There have been one or two other photos that have been picked up here and there, but I can't remember which or where, which is one reason that I'm making mention of this now: aside from the fact that I crave attention, validation, and affirmation.
The Canyon, with it's ruins, which you can barely make out in the photo (look about an inch over the walkers' head and somewhat to the left), was the last stop stop on our week long Arizona trip several years ago. Since we ended up on a walking tour, we didn't see a huge portion of the canyon, but we did enjoy several pleasant hours, and I suppose that one ruin must be much the same as another. I think that quality over quantity can be a decent trade off after all.
The little guy on the right was our Navajo guide: old in years, but he was certainly fit enough and spry enough to leave me in the dust. The couple in the photo was one that seemed to be making a tour somewhat parallel to ours. Cuppa met them in Flagstaff where we were both staying as a jumping off point for our Grand Canyon visits. He was an Aussie who had been staying in England, and she was English. They were taking their time touring much of the USA before heading to and settling in Australia. A day or two later, they stayed at the same motel as us near Monument Valley. Finally, we met up at the visitor centre in the canyon. They asked us to join them on the walking tour that they had just signed up for, so we did although Cuppa hadn't understood that it was to be a walking tour. I thought she had agreed very quickly, and that was the reason. But it was all good.
Below is a closer photo of the ruins, and below that a short slideshow of these and a few other photos.
