About this postcard

The view looks across the Grand Canyon from Rowe's (Hopi) Point, a South Rim overlook, toward Brahma Temple, Zoroaster Temple, Newberry Terrace, and Vishnu Temple. Dotted key lines trace the named formations across the layered walls and buttes. The printed caption remarks on the shifting colors and notes that the opposite canyon wall is 13 miles away. Hopi Point is one of the South Rim's broad viewpoints, and the named temples are among the canyon's prominent stratified landmarks.

BRAHMA TEMPLE. ZOROASTER TEMPLE. NEWBERRY TERRACE, VISHNU TEMPLE. 9346 GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA, FROM ROWE'S (HOPI) POINT. COPR. DETROIT PHOTOGRAPHIC CO. The scene constantly changes. While one looks the colors turn from one shade to another and then change color. It is hardly imaginable that the opposite Canyon wail is 13 miles away. The mind is unused to grasping such tremendous things. At first it is not impressed by this, yet slowly but surely incredulity is changed to possi- bility, and doubt is changed to belief.
