Cathedral Rock

My immediate impression was a palace or fortress. Later I learned that this natural landmark goes by the name Cathedral Rock, so I can call up a memory of Notre Dame in Paris, even if the actual location is an expanse of desert in northern Arizona rather than a city in northern France. When we stopped at Navajo Bridge over the Colorado River late in the afternoon on October 21st, the light was just right to illuminate this imposing geological feature.
