or Calm before all hell breaks loose...
A calm section of the Colorado River in Marble Canyon with the Redwall Limestone in the BG. Thats a wooden dory on the river. An amazing way to see the Canyon. To me, this image conveys sense of scale in the canyons.

David,
I agree, this shot gives a sense of scale. It does not stand up to the artistic expression and excellence of much of your other work I have viewed.

Man does this bring back memories. In 1991 we spent nineteen days on the river in dories (guided trip). This imager gives a sense of scale that is hard to grasp. Thanks for the reminder,,,,makes me want to dig up the old chromes.

It's also neat that the boat almost disappears into the scene.
Yes, I bet that would be a cool way to see the canyon. Very quiet (most of the time). sad

Nice one. Really natural looking.
