Grand Canyon Sept 2011

Haley & the old man on South Kaibab, just before getting pounded by a thunderstorm.

A beautiful evening at Moran Point, just before a storm blew through the canyon.

A distant view of the storm from Moran Point.

A quick stop at an nameless pullout while a thunderstorm passed over heading north. This view lasted less than two minutes.

South Kaibab trailhead from Yaki Point. Look close, there are several people on the trail. Gives you a feeling for the immensity of the Grand Canyon.

Pima Point evening, distant view. I'm not sure how I feel about this image.

Pima Point twilight. A bit darker, I think I like this one better.

A wonderful image fortuitously captured in a panoramic series by Tom Martin, cleaned up by yours truly in Photoshop.

Stormy afternoon from a nameless turnout east of Yaki Point.

Darker toned version of previous image. I can't decide which I liked best. To me this photo contains all the textures of the canyon in one image, and the storm creates pools of light that move across the scene, rapidly changing the relationships between the different zones.

Pima Point looking west, late afternoon, duotoned.

A rapid thunderstorm moved across the canyon in about 30 minutes
