Description

Experiencing the sunset here on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon was a special moment. The colors were out of this world. Never seen--before or since--a purple haze as I did here. and, these colors don't last long, so speed is important in catching what you see: now it's there, now it's not!

It is only when zooming in that you catch an idea of what this was like to actually see.....I would guess that you have some big prints on display at home .

Very little change since it was formed eons ago, yet every picture taken is unique and magical. A superb magical and romantic shot and again the full effect of the moment can only be really experienced by you. A wonderful mood to the image, it must have been an awesome moment and one that will stay with you always. Spectacular capture. Bravo!!!!!
