Grand Canyon - 1 sunrise and 3 sunset pictures. This was my first visit to this part of the country. I have seen my fair share of the North American landscape, but this was jaw-dropping to see in person. I was visiting there with my two German friends who were equally stunned.

The logistics inside the Grand Canyon Village are very impressive, with free shuttle buses running from 4:30AM till one hour after sunset, restrooms, water stations, etc. A bargain for $25 per car entrance fee, valid for a week. Truly a national treasure that I would gladly have my tax dollars spent on.

During the day, I met a gentleman who said he has stopped taking pictures of the Canyon as it is futile to capture its beauty and scale in photos. I agree. These pictures below don't do justice, but I will attempt anyway!

For the shot below, we reached this point at 4:30AM (!) to stake it out. Needless to say it was darker than dark if you are used to the usual "city darkness" and flashlights came in handy. And cold. Went back to the car to warm up until 5:15am or so and came back again. The early morning glow brought the mysterious shapes to life.

Next three: Hopi Point, a popular spot for sunset. The fading light lit up the unforgiving terrain with strange hues and I found it rewarding to step away from the crowds and try different vantage points. One really needs a 200mm lens here for better perspective compression.

Jaree, I was fortunate enough to made the trek down into the canyons almost 10 years ago. There is much more beauty to be seen below. Highly recommended to anyone who can find the time and physical strength. My only regret is that I wasn't into photography back then to take some nice photos.

Thank you all very much for the ' likes', much appreciated. :salute:

Living in the desert, we appreciate things that might be very common elsewhere.
The trees, seas and the ocean, the 4 seasons, and for my wife and me specially the snow capped peaks of the mountain ranges.

The mountains do really beckon the two of us...

While I appreciate that longing, I am left to wonder who is going to show us the desert and the people living there!

Hope you are recovering well, Rayyan! :)

Many thanks to you guys for the ' likes '.

Vivek, you raise a valid point.

How about a traveler from abroad?. In lieu of that, you guys are always welcome

Every medical person tells me that one feels much better after CABG. I have yet to find that exhilaration they speak of. But it is early days, and they seem to be comfortable with the progress I am making. Thanks for asking.

Sending along a good thought and a prayer that you have a successful recovery from the surgery and soon have that exhilaration feeling!

Haven't been here in a while; but, I've enjoyed looking. Here's a few with an MM, 50mm f/1.4, taken at the Pike Place Market.













Cheers, Matt
