several hand held captures to create this not very good collage.it was quite windy and hard to balance on a rock while shooting.I passed the place so many times and decided finally cold or not I was going to see it The Meteor Crater, sometimes known as the Barringer Crater and formerly as the Canyon Diablo crater, is an impact crater, located about 35 miles (55 km) east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona desert (USA). Its elevation is 1744 m (5,723 ft). The crater is somewhat misnamed, as it was actually excavated by a meteorite, not a meteor. The crater is about 4,000 ft in width, and some 170 m deep (550 ft). It is surrounded by a 45 m (150 ft) high rim of rock, raised above the surrounding plains by the force of the impact. The bottom of the crater is filled with rubble from the impact, to a depth of 210-240 m (700-800 ft) below the crater's center.the circumference is 2.4 miles.if the Washington monument was placed inside the top would be eye level from the rim from Meteor Crater Enterprises thanks for viewing and comments attention: purchasers of Vista beware that Western Digital hard drives is not offering any drivers for Vista as of yet.what a bummer. both of my big external drives are WD
