it was amazing

"This landscape is animate: it moves, transposes, build, proceeds, shifts, always going on, never coming back, and one can retain it only in vignettes, impressions caught in a flash , flipped through in succession, leaving a richness of images imprinted on a sunburned retina."
One of many quotable passages. One of the joys of Zwinger is her language, her riffs of verbs and similes that relish her observation of all the wondrous minutiae of the Canyon.
