grand canyon Grand Canyon-Between Rains (View larger)

Hi Phil,

  Beautiful image with wonderful colors, lighting & details.  This is a great place to visit.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks for your viewing and comments.  The majority of the time we were at the canyon air pollution and haze  really compromised photographic opportunities (although I tried to use the haze in the B & W image I posted); we did have a few brief showers which greatly improved viewing conditions. 

Thanks again for your interest, Phil

Phil, very nice image.  The shadows from the clouds give it a real sense of depth to me.  nicely done. 

Thanks for viewing and comments.  I went there with hopes of getting some great scenics and from a photography standpoint was pretty disappointed,  This was one of my better efforts from around 400 images that I took.  As other photographers have found out the haze and air pollution are common; the rain does have the effect of some clearing- so you grab the chances you have.  Thanks again, Phil

One thing that I noticed about the Grand Canyon is that every hour of the day it looks different. As the day progresses it takes on a whole new look.

This is an impressive shot, early morning or late evening, you have the cast of the long shadows and the canyon walls have a purple hue to them. Good work my friend

Thanks for your viewing and comment.  I was somewhat disappointed with my photographic efforts on that trip.  Afterwards, I looked at a book by Eliot Porter-wonderful images.  The rub was, they were taken at the bottom of the canyon!  Well maybe next trip.  Thanks again, Phil
