Ray of Hope

Sunrise is my favorite time at the Grand Canyon. It's quiet, mystical, and relatively people free. Before the sun begins to pour down over the eastern edge of the canyon, its early rays light the upper strata of the Paleozoic rocks on fire.

 

On a day where the cloud cover was fairly thick above, the lower Supergroup Formation never became colorful. But for this one moment, the subtle beauty of that thin ray of hope made the early morning wake-up worthwhile.
