GRAND CANYON

A nice quiet moment to think
After a full day of hiking along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, we finally made it to Hopi Point just in time for this Golden Sunset. It was an amazing feeling, seeing the colors and temperature change so quickly with the setting sun. It reminded me of a quote by Sylvia Plath "I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.'"
Early in 2017 I visited the Grand Canyon as part of a larger trip covering many National Parks in the West. During the visit to the Grand Canyon I met several individuals traveling from the U.K. While shooting one ventured out to get her photograph, and I was lucky enough to capture an image with the beautiful canyons in the background.
