South rim of the Grand Canyon sits this scene.
behind the tree sits: Desert View Watchtower-
Designed 1932 By Mary Colter and constructed by the Santa Fe Railroad, The Desert View Watchtower overlooks the eastern end of Grand Canyon.
Desert View Watchtower, also known as the Indian Watchtower at Desert View, is a 70-foot (21 m)-high stone building located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon within Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, United States. The tower is located at Desert View, more than 20 miles (32 km) to the east of the main developed area at Grand Canyon Village, toward the east entrance to the park. The four-story structure, completed in 1932, was designed by American architect Mary Colter, an employee of the Fred Harvey Company who also created and designed many other buildings in the Grand Canyon vicinity including Hermit's Rest and the Lookout Studio. The interior contains murals by Fred Kabotie
The need to go just a little further. What attracts us to the danger?

The sun peeks through a smoky haze as it begins to clear the top of the Temple of Vishnu. Normally a photograph at this moment would have the beginnings of a starburst or at least would be generating a bit of flare. But the haze over the canyon that morning was quite dense, almost like cloud cover. The source of the smoke was a lightning-lit wildfire burning on the Walhalla Plateau on the canyon's north rim.

Normally when shooting I listen to my Ipod. I was introduced to (Sugar Man) Rodriguez by a film from Malik Bendjelloul called "Searching for Sugar Man"..
Today Malik Bendjelloul has passed away. The depth of the talents that mixed when Bendjelloul told the story of Sugar Man drew me in.. Thank you for that.

Met a false friend
On a lonely, dusty road
Lost my heart
When I found it
It had turned to dead, black coal- Rodriguez
The snow was just beginning to fall across the canyon on the North Rim. It was a cold and blustery day. Even so, it was absolutely beautiful.

We have a front row seat on a rainstorm in the Grand Canyon. The leading curtain of rain moves slowly east over the buttes and rock formations within the canyon.

Most of the rocks in the Grand Canyon are sedimentary rocks, compressed and cemented into a beautiful design of colorful, horizontal layers laid patiently layer by layer over time. These sedimentary structures provide clues about the environment in which they were formed including the kinds of processes that occurred when the sediment was deposited. In geology, each layer represents a different event, some are long lived and others are short lived. Each layer is unique and reflects a certain time period in history with hidden stories waiting to be uncovered. All layers and colors collectively contribute to the beauty and uniqueness of the Grand Canyon.

We had a great time out on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon after a big snow storm. I'll have lots of images to share over the coming weeks. I want to start out with a more unconventional view. Moments before I took this shot, the sun was lighting the canyon nicely. However, a wall of fog/snow started moving in from the west and it looked like an ominous black curtain. I found this large overhanging snow cornice to frame the shot as the storm barreled in. It wasn't long before it was snowing so hard you hardly see anything. This is pretty much straight out of camera. The clouds and contrast really were that extreme!
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Navajo: Tsékooh Hatsoh, Spanish: Gran Cañón) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon. (Wikipedia)
This was viewed from Desert View, South Rim. The steep cliffs "Palisades of the Desert" can be seen on the top left. Colorado River is running across.
No tour of the American Southwest could be complete without a visit of the Grand Canyon. And even though I had seen it before I still couldn't and cannot get enough of it. The views across the canyon are just phenomenal and the sheer size almost impossible to comprehend. And even though it's probably one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world it is so vast that it never feels crowded. Still, for sunset I went to one of the lesser known outlooks, the so called Shoshone point which is off the usual bus route. Here, I only met half a dozen of other tourists and we all almost solemnly watched the light of the setting sun illuminating the canyon layers in different colors. With this photo I tried to emphasize the passage of time; from the millions of years it took the canyon to form to the dozens of years the tree grew on the canyon rim.

A small piñon pine tree (often written as pinyon) catches the low morning light. Along with juniper trees, piñons are a dominant tree species in the Colorado Plateau. Their seeds were and are a source of food exploited by people in the area. In this instance, however, you might want to find a tree a little further back from the edge.

Standing between a juniper on the left and a piñon pine on the right we gaze across the chasm of the Grand Canyon to its north rim. It's roughly 10 miles (16 kilometers) to the other side. The Colorado River can be glimpsed in the lower center of the photo.

It's not often you see this much snow in the Grand Canyon. Due to a last minute cancellation, we have one spot left in our Winter in the Desert Workshop starting Jan 24th:

The latter part of Jan was when we got an epic snowstorm last winter. Hoping Mother Nature will treat us with lots of snow this year!
