Ameriku sam uvek zamisljala kao ogromnu, daleku, nedostiznu i nestvarnu zemlju. I, kao i sve nedostizno i daleko, mogucnost da je jednoga dana posetim, spadala je u snove koji se ne ostvaruju. Ipak, ovaj san se ostvario. 2010.godine imala sam priliku da je posetim i uverim se u (ne)istinitost svojih pretpostavki. Amerika zaista jeste daleka, ali ne toliko da je i nedostizna. Jeste ogromna, a neki njeni delovi su zaista nestvarni. Jedno od takvih mesta svakako je Veliki kanjon reke Kolorado.
I have always imagined America as a huge, distant, inaccessible and unrealistic country. The opportunity to visit Amerika, for me was a dream. So, this dream has come true. In 2010. I visited Amerika, and I saw the (un) truthfulness of my assumptions. America is really far, but not so much as it is inaccessible. It's huge, and some of its parts are really unreal. One of such places is the Grand Canyon of Colorado River.
Veliki kanjon je Nacionalni park u Americkoj Drzavi Arizona. On spada u jedno od sedam svetskih čuda i jedan je od najvecih kanjona na planeti. Prostire se na 450 kilometara a neki njegovi useci duži su od 30 kilometara duboki preko jednog kilometra. Pokusacu da sa nekoliko jednostavnih reči opišem lepotu Velikog Kanjona: predivan, nestvaran, grandiozan, živopisan i čaroban.
Grand Canyon is National Park in the state of Arizona. The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and one of the largest canyons on Earth. It stretches for 450 kilometers. Parts of the canyon are more than 30 kilometers wide and one kilometer deep. I have tried to describe the wonder of the Grand Canyon: beautiful, amazing, very huge, very colorful and magic.
Ogromno prostranstvo, visina, dubina, nestvaran kolorit stena pod vama i nebesko plavetnilo iznad vas, sve je ono što će učiniti da se osećate kao da ste akteri nekog SF filma ili da ste se iznenada našli u nekoj drugoj dimenziji.
The huge space, height, depth, the unrealistic coloring of the rocks under you, and the heavenly blossom above you, everything that makes you feel like you are actors of some SFI film, or you suddenly find yourself in another dimension.
Ali ono što je kompletan utisak učinilo još nestvarnijim jesu ogromne kamene stene u Sedoni. Priroda je isklesala čudne kamene strukture koje se prostiru duž celog puta u dolini predivne Sedone. Narandžasta i purpurno crvena boja ovih stenovitih figura dominiraju ne samo ovde već i u čitavoj Arizoni - zemlji pustinja, kaktusa i neverovatnih vajarskih remek dela prirode.
The huge stone walls in Sedona makes unrealistic impression. The nature has crystallized the pristine stone structures that along the whole road over in the valley of the beautiful Sedona. The orange and purple red color of these rocky figures dominate not only here, but in the whole Arizona - the land of deserts, cactuses and incredible sculptural masterpices of nature.
