Sunrise over Yavapai Point in Grand Canyon [ EXPLORE ]

Grand Canyon is one of the most majestic place I've ever witnessed. We have a similiar Canyon in Hawaii, the Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai, and it is little league compared to the grand spectacle of this place. I was determined to get a sunrise shot before leaving this place. I chose Yavapai Point by default because it is the closest and safest location from the south entrance to the park as I do not want to fall off a cliff in total darkness on unfamiliar territory. 1620 x 1080 version available for viewing.

Thanks everyone for making this my second time on Flickr Explore. I started shooting a DSLR 9 months ago and hopefully as time goes on, my skills and techniques will improve.
