P3D Grand Canyon 3d and garbage

Took my folks out to the Grand Canyon yesterday...a beautiful day about 50
degrees and not packed with tourists.  I happened to see in one of the
many gift shops on the South Rim, near El Tovar, a couple of 3d products.
OF course, the canyon continues to sell the dated viewsmaster reels of the
Grand canyon but I also saw the 3dDiscover being sold with Grand Canyon
spool. ($30) plus you could buy Grand Canyon spool #2 for an additional
$7.  I purchased neither, preferring to spend my time and money shooting
my own stuff.
	After reading today's posts, I would have to say that I was able
to take a nice shot of "garbage" at the Grand Canyon.  It seems that
tourists like to toss coins over the rim onto outlying rocks containing
pools of snowmelt.  I guess they think it is a good luck fountain and not
a National Park.  So, at Hopi POint, there is a rock about 10 feet away
littered with pennies, nickels, etc.  Absolutely disgusting!!!!  Coins
also laying over the side of those that missed.  It would take a rock
climber (and a Ranger) to retrieve the money...but here in one of our
national cathedrals, money is indeed garbage.  And I shot it.
