Greatest Show on Earth

Updated: Dec 11, 2021

This is just a friendly reminder that the Greatest Show on Earth performs daily with an early morning performance followed by spectacular twilight show. And it is absolutely free with no reservations required!


It's easy to forget about all the unique and beautiful things we are surrounded by in nature. Viewing a crisp colorful sunrise to start your day will have positive effect on your day and for days after. The variety of colors are always different and with some clouds in the sky the vibrant colors light up with a show you can only experience in nature.

Sunrise on OAAH POINT in the Grand Canyon
Showtime on the South Rim
Sunrise on the Texas Gulf Coast

Some of the most colorful sunsets are over a body of water where the sun slowly sets on the horizon as if to sink into the water reflecting a rainbow of colors on the water and sky. Also, watching a sunset near a mountain landscape displays reflecting colors that seem to be alive as they radiate over the sky, mountain and landscape.

Sunset on Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
Sunset on Guanella Pass in Colorado

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

No two shows are alike, each performance takes your mind on a colorful journey that is orchestrated and directed by Mother Nature. Here are a few pictures from performances from my journeys in nature.

Fuel for the Soul

Humans are visual creatures. Most of us process information based on what we see. Most studies show around 65% of us are visual learners. And social media has increased this with everyone sharing pictures and videos. We live in a world where we expect instant results. Our patience grows thin when we have to wait. But, when we do see something special, we tend to spend more time observing and feel the need to share this with others, especially via social media.


Spending a few moments in nature will recharge and rejuvenate your mind and soul. Spending some time on social media looking at photographs and videos illustrating the unique and beautiful qualities of nature, will leave a positive taste in your mouth and hopefully, a hunger for more. The serenity in nature is just waiting for you to experience in person or by just viewing pictures and videos.

Just love that you share all of this with me! I have experienced a lot of these things when I was much younger, dare I say before social media, ha, but now with all the technology, I mostly sit in front of a minimum of 2 monitors each day working for a corporation. Not much longer as retirement nears, and you have totally sparked my hunger, to go see even more now than when I was younger! Peace out for now my friend. Ron
