Farewell to Grand Canyon by taffy

Farewell to Grand Canyon

Our trip has come to an end. Jane, Junko, and I spent our last day here walking along the rim of the canyon from mid-morning through sunset. But this sunset is from the night my camera broke -- the last shot I took with it. So I thought I'd post it here.
This composition was inspired by the one Junko had posted, taken the previous night, emphasizing the shadows among the formations: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2018-10-20
We fly back to Chicago tomorrow morning but without a camera, I'll be posting Grand Canyon shots for awhile, I suspect.
Magnificent shot

Brilliant image. How we do love our cameras - hopefully yours can be fixed quickly.
October 21st, 2018  
Just stunning. I hope your camera can be repaired - and what an unfortunate time for it to break...

Incredible

Wonderful tones and I like that thin slice of cloud matching the colour of the rock.
October 21st, 2018  
It’s a beauty. I loved that shot of Junko’s - so inky black in the depths. This is lovely too. Get well soon, Taffy’s camera!

It has been a delight to see your shots from Grand Canyon, one of the places in the US I would like to see irl.
October 21st, 2018  
Amazing image with fantastic light
October 21st, 2018  
Fabulous, just as I imagine it
October 21st, 2018  
That's a lot of walking but what a fabulous image you captured. Oh my so sad about the camera . decisions decisions you know mirrorless may be the way to go if poor D610 has taken his/hers last snap.
October 21st, 2018  
Wonderful capture of the Grand Canyon. Such a beautiful place.
October 21st, 2018  
I know how it feels, to be without the favorite camera (I fell in the river in Nova Scotia this summer, with the camera), it is so painful as they are like friends. I really hope it can be repared and look forwart to more Grand Canyon shots.
October 21st, 2018  
Beautiful lighting and composition. Fav!! 😀
October 21st, 2018  
Just how you imagine the Grand Canyon to look like Taffy, all golds & reds glowing in the evening sun. Fave.
October 21st, 2018  
Great scene and light.
October 21st, 2018  
Beautiful shot
October 21st, 2018  
ahhhhh what a shot
October 21st, 2018  
Drama. Great shot. Isnt it amazing how often cloud formations seem to be sensitive to the landscape. I mean, that little bit of cloud dipping down at the same point where you get the break in the rock formation. I suppose it might happen for good scientific reasons but it sure does help the art!
October 21st, 2018  
I like the 3 repeating shapes contrasted with the other side of the frame. We sure had a wondytime. May your Nikon be well soon. FYI looks as if this isn’t quite level
October 21st, 2018  
superb capture of the light and shadows, of course ~ fav
October 21st, 2018  
Wonderful shot
October 21st, 2018  
Low how the clouds and cliffs are the same tones. Really lovely. So happy you had a good time with your 365 friends. Hope your camera is well soon!
October 22nd, 2018

October 22nd, 2018  
A wonderful composition with that cloud and those deep reds of the canyon are beautifully displayed here.
October 22nd, 2018  
Oh my word!!!! That light is amazing. What an experience you've had.
October 22nd, 2018  
This is fabulous, the cloud is the icing on the tasty cake the Grand Canyon rim is... You need to replace that camera, this site couldn't make it without your photos!
October 22nd, 2018
