Up at the Canyon

Walked a slightly different section of the south rim today. The canyon was a gift today, calm-no wind, cool and few people this morning. This is the Kolb Brother's home and photographic studio. ( https://www.grandcanyon.org/arts-and-culture/kolb-studio)
The canyon - must be a wonderful place. But seems to have been quite cold on this day.

@jerome Thank you, really appreciate the fav. The temperature was actually okay, about 30F, but the lack of wind made it very wonderful. The canyon can be somewhat hazy but I was very lucky today.

@cscarr97 Thank you, this gives a whole new spin on cliff dwelling.

@domenicododaro Thank you so much, I was looking at the Bright Angel Trailhead to check for ice and conditions when I looked up at the studio. I am amazed that they built right on the cliff.

@susale The view that the Kolb's had was spectacular. They had a corner on the photographic market at the canyon for a long time. The Bright Angel trail which goes down into the canyon starts just off to the left of their studio.

@johnfalconer Thank you every so much, and thank you for the following, your own work is amazing too.

@chard The brothers were very interesting, when they cleaned out Emery's garage, they found a canoe with a human skeleton in it. All sorts of stories have been started from that find.

@deborah63 Thank you a great deal. The canyon is almost medicine for my soul.

@lizhammond The spot is best very early and in winter, the light is dramatic and there are few brave souls out in the temperatures. I would have the courage to live in that house tough.

@jeffinvt Thank you very kindly, I used my old Sony cyber shot - after 9 years it still has it and much lighter than my DSLR.

@bkbinthecity Thank you so much, the Grand Canyon is without any doubt a gift. I feel lucky that I get to see it often.

I can't even imagine what it must be like having the privilege to see the canyon on a regular basis - thank you for sharing the experience.

Beautiful place to walk and be!

Lovely shot

@vignouse The canyon is there and a continual challenge, I do not think that a single shot can convey the spirit. I do count my lucky stars that I live close and I am now making the effort to experience it often. Just being there is medicine for my soul.

@overalvandaan I agree, the peace and quiet of early mornings at the canyon is something that most do not experience. Shame that we are 'loving our parks to death'.

@ziggy77 Thank you very kindly for the fav. I have just started to make sure that I get to the canyon often, there is real magic there and best in the early mornings.

Wow, what an amazing view!!! Fav. Interesting how the view looks warm and hazy but I see snow on the ground by the house.

@stephanies Thank you ever so kindly for the fav. My friend and I really like to get up and start walking early since the rest are still snug in their beds. We get the canyon rim mostly to ourselves which is a true gift.
