On her cross-country journey, Sharon sends us this amazing shot and her message was a simple one:

This is certainly a sight to marvel at – it is quite awesome to comprehend the dimensions! Thanks so much for sharing this Sharon and look forward to receiving the next yoga scene from your travels.

(Note: A few days ago Sharon sent us this from Crater Lake…)
