On the Edge


We've seen lots of folks with expensive camera/video gear on this trip, but the key to capturing truly magic panoramas - the warm light that occurs in early morning and late dusk - conflicts a bit with the schedule of a relaxing vacation. After a couple brutal hot/bright hikes on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, we're planning to watch sunset this evening - and grab some sweet pics. This one was taken at the heat of the day on the North Rim of the GC. You'll note, of course, the intense shadows, blown out sky, and wash out canyon colors. Okay, maybe you won't, but I do. :)


The truck pic is for a couple of my bro's back home; we find the minivan+popup combo to work really well, but this looks wayyy cooler.



Can't wait for sunrise at the GC!

Whoa! I thought I was going to fall off the edge. I'm a little sheepish at heights. Wow - what a great trip. Keep up the reports - they're very entertaining!!!!
