This is a picture of the window next to the fire escape in a hotel we stayed at in Arizona. I think it looks neat.

Here are some strange little flowers atop the Grand Canyon. They have little whip-like antennae things. All my attempts to photograph the actual Grand Canyon were pointless, so I stuck to this kind of thing.
