Labor Day weekend was spent on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The weather cooperated nicely. Two images were posted in the Landscape/ESS gallery. Here are two more of an incoming thunderstorm and a pastel sunrise.
The drive south to the park from Jacob Lake goes through DeMotte Park which is lined with firs and aspens. A very light tinge of yellow is beginning to appear, but still rather green. I had noticed only the end of on branch on one aspen tree that had changed yellow. Hard to believe that a fall-color trip to the San Juans is scheduled for only two weeks from today

Doug, I like the way the tree curves the opposite way of the Throne in #1 & how symmetrically offset the white foreground rock & lightning strike are in #2. That central cloud in #2 has some really wild blue backlight!

These are both outstanding, Doug. Really dig the lightning image.

Thanks for the comments. Monika, that cloud brought some small hail and caught me on my last 50 yards back to the truck.
