Kurt, After your comment I realized I have served up a very isolated piece - of the Grand Canyon. Sorry for my presumption.

I was thinkin grand canyon but was not fur sure, maybe if the rest was lit up I'd have noticed that. However I like this shot just as it is. I think it be amazing printed BIG

Holy freaking bizarre, surreal and beautiful - all at once. Like no other G.C. shot I've ever seen.

Very unique. Different from most GC shots I've seen. I like that you have enough shadow detail to hold interest and the overall mood that the dark tone and clouds create. Nice shot!

Jesse said it best. Phenomenal, George!

Awesome photograph George, I love the way you take the viewer right there. I had to go get my coat and mittens when I saw this photo. the contrast of desert and fog of the clouds really makes this photo come together. the touch of light gives the fealing of a cold Desert morning in the Four corners area. :toast:

Cool image! The clouds really give a mystic feeling.

Very cool image George. It is certainly a unique take on the GC. That sliver of light makes the shot, but the clouds are pretty awesome too.
