Grand Canyon, AZ, USAMore information:
The Grand Canyon is a huge steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River over millions of years exposing nearly two billion years of geologic history. The area has been continuously in habited by Native Americans who built settlements and many of whom consider the canyon a holy place. President Theodore Roosevelt visited in 1903 and later designated the Grand Canyon as a National Park. Despite opposition from land and mining claim holders, it was designated a National Park in 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson. I also faced a photographic challenge on this visit. The overcast skies make photography a bit more difficult than bright sunny skies. I say that despite the fact that many (most?) photographers do not like bright sunny skies. However, the Hawaiian part of my being craves them. But you take what you get and hopefully, my Photoshop post-processing will please you in the photos I am sharing.
