Sunrise, Grand Canyon

Description

My mother and I woke up at about 4:30AM and took the shuttle from our hotel to Mather point. We then walked along the rim trail to Yavapai point, trying to find good compositions before the sun came up. The canyon was full of fog, and it was one of the most awe inspiring things that I have ever seen. The fog really made for some interesting shots as the sun came up.

First light hits the mesas and buttes in the Canyon...

filters used:

An absolutely incredible photo, one that any photographer would be proud of, and well worth waking before 4am to capture this magnificent vista. I love the 'line of sight' beginning with the plant, which leads the eye in a curving exploratory journey to the horizon and then back through the misty perspective of the canyon. Definitely a :winner:
