When you get there, you have a hard time understanding what is happening, you are almost on flat grounds and all of a sudden, this hugh hole unbeleivable, simply beautyful

Thanks for the comments, all.

I, too experienced that sense of awe and shock as the tour helicopter swung out over the Grand Canyon (just as I took this picture). The flights must follow a fixed route to avoid noise pollution and other annoyances near people on foot and trekking. The aircraft fly from the GCVillage landing strip and heliport to here, a few km west of Hermit's Point, then fly nearly north to Dragon Head, then back again. So most of the in-flight shots you'll see here are along this routeLonger routes carry on past Dragon Head

Your picture is very nice. Infortunetly, it appears at 46°16'48.69 N 4°44'30.48 E. ie less than 100 km north east from Lyon (France). Landscapes are beautifull in France but we don't have such a deep canyon.

I saw this too several weeks ago, and moved it back to the Grand Canyon, where my system shows it now to be. What IS happening on Google Earth?

You can copy this photo in Panoramio - and use it with my compliments for your friends and to illustrate something you are doing. Just say that you got it from me.

But if you want to sell the photo and make money, I want some of that, so ask first and we can come to an agreement.

are you shure this picture should be linked to Fuisse, France in Google Maps? That is where I live and I'm pretty sure there is no canyon in my area!
