Foto Friday Challenge: Architecture

Posted in Family, and Photography

I have to admit that I have nothing new for this week.  I just couldn’t get out and about to snap pictures of some of the interesting buildings and homes around here.  Instead, I offer some pictures from when we were at the Grand Canyon.  All these images were taken at the Desert View Watch Tower. For more Foto Friday Challenge, head over to Renaissance.  You can also see my past Foto Friday Challenges here.
