Near sunset capture along the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Was still using the CPL filter here at this time, and the effect on the clear sky with some haze turned out kind of neat I think.

The view from Grandview Point with the storms coming across the Canyon at sunset. The sun burst out under the cloud deck for a few minutes lighting the river and the east wall. Canon 5D3 and 100-400mm.
The afternoon sun breaks through the clouds and lights up Stillwater Canyon of the Green River and the vast rocky terrain of eroded cliffs, buttes, and side canyons, dominated by the bright White Rim Sandstone. A section of the Green River is visible in the upper left quadrant as it loops around Turks Head (isolated butte in the center right) and flows back to the left toward its junction with the Colorado River.
Getting to Murphy Bench on the White Rim Road where this photo was taken involved traveling some gooey roads fed by snowmelt from recent storms, with precipitous drops on the roadsides or steep inclines. Getting off the north side of Murphy Bench was also exciting with a snowy/icy road resembling a toboggan run. Not surprisingly I didn’t see anyone else for the final three days of the trip. In retrospect the challenge of the road was a small price to pay for the isolation in a sublime landscape.
Skyline Rim provides a sweeping view of the Lower Blue Hills at Dawn, with the Henry Mountains on the horizon.
A sure-footed photographer wanted a memorable photo.
Light sources from the sky, south rim visitor center across the Grand Canyon, and then the lights here along the north rim near the lodge. A magical time to be out and see the Milky Way.
Afternoon view from Needles Overlook, Canyon Rims Recreation Area. The scene looks toward the north, with partially sunlit Island in the Sky on the left, and a bit of the Colorado River in the valley. A clearing winter storm conceals the La Sal Mountains above the cliffs in the right center.
Not many panoramic views are left like this where there's little impact of human development on the landscape.

A black guillemot sits on a rock, catching the early morning sun. For some reason, its feet are slightly up in the air. No idea why, unless it is simply hit by a gust of wind at the time I took the photo. The background is darker rock that is also in the shade. The light was nice but not overly bright, due to a bit of cloud on the horizon. I was able to get some nice puffin photos that morning, too.
I was so excited about seeing this spiral the whole time I was planning on visiting Rome. It did not disappoint :) I really enjoyed my time at The Vatican.

The oriental darter, or Anhinga melanogaster is a is a water bird of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body is submerged in water.
The feathers on its neck are short and hairy, which provides the beautiful rim light effect under right lighting conditions that you can see in this shot.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my photos. Feel free to leave feedback.

Dawn is a rim show at Bryce Canyon National Park and certainly was on this day in April, 2023. As a first-timer here, it felt like the hoodoos were waking up with us, more of them showing each minute, the yellows, the oranges, the reds, with that silky blue sky shifting as time passed. We all have these moments with our cameras, don't we? Another place I was so glad to finally visit.
