Grand Canyon National Park. Considered one of the seven natural wonders of world. Honored as a World Heritage Site. Visited by five million or more each year.
Six thousand feet deep at its deepest point and up to 18 miles across at its widest, the canyon is immense and colorful with steep canyon walls and jutting mesas. Exposed geologic formations chronicle three of the earth's four eras of geologic history, making the Grand Canyon one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world.
Carved by the Colorado River over a period of six million years, it is one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is also one of the most biologically diverse with several major ecosystems that range from coyote willows at the river's edge to hanging gardens along the canyon walls to ponderosa pines along the canyon rims.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, sometimes referred to as the "other" Grand Canyon, is less populated with visitors and uniquely different from the South Rim. At 8800 feet elevation the North Rim offers up views greatly differing from those at the South Rim, a mere 10 miles across as the crow flies.
A special place, indeed.

Most people go to the south rim, but the north rim is maybe even more spectacular. Light is sometimes difficult from there, but seeing your version you show that it possible to create the majestic feeling of the north rim in warm light. Great work Sandra!
