Arizona Christmas Escape-20
As the song says “What a difference a day makes”, we were flying out on a red-eye flight at midnight from Phoenix so we went back to the park early to see if we could get a few shots and not be totally skunked from the day before, this shot is of the Canyon facing east from the south entrance.
The first thing to strike you about the canyon when you see it is the immenseness of this natural world wonder, the Canyon is 446 km long, 29 km at its widest point and reaches a depth of over 1,857m in spots.
A river runs through it is an understatement in this case as this grand design was carved by the sheer force of the Colorado river and 16-17 million years of stick-to-itiveness.
There is no place on the planet that exposes as much of the earths crust to humans for inspection and study, scientists have carbon dated the deepest layers to almost 2 Billion years ago, it is a geologists paradise.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mmmm 2.8 G2 Lens at 45mm 1/15s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia,
