"And they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making [them] tremble" (Micah 4:4)

"The whole earth has come to rest, has become free of disturbance. People have become cheerful with joyful cries. Even the juniper trees have also rejoiced at you" (Isaiah 14:7)

"They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea" (Isaiah 11:9)

Last year I took a shot from this same spot and called it Peaceable Dawn, and it certainly was.

Can you imagine for a moment the whole earth existing with the above conditions. Take a moment, sit back and IMAGINE IT. What would it take for the above conditions to exist? I'm reminded of a phrase from a famous song...."nothing to kill or die for".....IMAGINE IT. For the above conditions to exist, the things that people around the world are killing and dying for would have to become non-existent. IMAGINE IT.

Hopefully I will be able to have quite a few more peaceable photos as I'm headed for 5 days at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Then 4 days at Zion National Park and all points in between.

Someone asked me today if I do these trips solo and I said that unless they were also photographers, it would probably not be fun for anyone as I'm getting up at 4am to get to hopefully catch a rockin' sunrise and then staying out on the trails all day or walking in knee to waist deep water for 8 hours as I'm going to at the Narrows in Zion. Then after I've gotten an also rockin' (hopefully) sunset shot and it's totally dark by the time I get to my car, get back to town and go into the grocery store all sticky and stinky to get food for the next days activity, get to the motel (yes, motel, I'm not that hard core) and eat something, shower, try to sleep till 4am and repeat it all over again............but it's where I find my peace.

Wish me drama in the skies and awesome light.
