Temples of Light by Pcoskun

This is an older image from perhaps my favorite trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. There was just something about this evening that provided me with some of the most memorable and dramatic light I could recall. Interestingly enough, there was never a crazy sunset that lit the entire sky. Just this very brief window where the ridges and temples towards the north rim of the canyon lit up in crimson hues. I remember posting an image of this moment back then (2013), but I totally forgot I had taken a series of frames that puts the sunlit sections in a nice arrangement. The low clouds slightly obscuring the left ridge and right temple leaving the brightest and most vibrant butte in the center. The varied hues of the canyon really added to the dreamlike atmosphere here. Almost the type of scene you might see in Lord of the rings or something like that. Anyways, with some new updated adjustments and going with more of my current style I decided to share this one. Also, since it is a winter scene (albeit kinda foreboding) I figured it would be a good time to say Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of my followers! Thank you so much for your support over the years, it means a ton!

Sunrise – Winter Canyon by PatKofahl

This is why I get up in the morning. This canyon, this wonder, this geologic marvel, six million years in the making, has been waiting for me. Patiently, stoically, without rancor or judgement, secure in the knowledge that one day in the far-distant future (or the far-distant past, it really doesn’t matter) our paths would intersect. They have, and they will. My job was easy. I simply had to be prepared.

The Moai of Grand Canyon by NhtPhm

Back to my Grand Canyon series. This was taken from my 2nd trip to Grand Canyon NP. This is a popular view point and the rock that caught my eyes was the one on the right of the foreground rock formation. It looks like a Moai monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island. I want to use the light to focus on this rock and the morning light was perfect to capture this. The shadow on the left side and back side of this rock helps the iconic rock pop up really good in this pic.
This is one of my favorite shots from that trip. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day/night everyone! 🙂
