The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon, as seen at sunset from Bright Angel Point on the (less-visited) North Rim.

The North Rim, and this viewpoint, is approximately 5,700 feet (just over a mile) above the floor of the canyon, which is also where the Colorado River, as seen in my previous photo, flows.

Unfortunately I don't have any Grand Canyon pictures I'm particularly happy with -- my visit to the South Rim was totally overcast, and while the weather was better here, my shots don't seem to have much excitement, or convey the scale of the canyon.

Beautiful shot of the grand canyon.

[Mags ッ]

Fabulous! I remember the helicopters look like little flies in the bottom!

[Mick]

I think the line of grey cliffs running across the centre of the shot, the obvious distance to the far side and your composition, keeping the sky to a minimum does give it some scale. The subdued light and colours are fabulous!

[Julie]

I still think this is amazing, fav

[Jim]

Its' always hard to truly convey the scale of the canyon, but I think you did a good job of it. I like how you captured the sun hitting the edges of the cliffs way off in the distance. Very nice landscape

[Marie]

This looks absolutely majestic. Brilliant!

[Humphrey Hippo]

One of those shots that 365 just doesn't do justice to. ;)

[Reva]
