In the first picture it looks like he may have a picture of the canyon on his phone. He liked the view so he took a picture of it to keep it or share it.
Gotta agree.
These days, the second thing I do after admiring a view is take a picture with my phone.
When I am in FL, I get up early to watch the sunrise. And frequently I wait patiently on Saint George Island to capture the sunset.
My real goal is to see the “green flash” from the setting sun over the ocean, and capture it on a picture. I was figuring I could do that from St. Petersburg - maybe at Fort DeSoto?
My thought as well.
