I walked out my door and through the pine forest.
Destination, employee rock off the Transept Trail. Except I didn’t climb out on the rock.
Several people had stationed themselves along the rocky rim.
So I settled onto an available boulder with a pine for company.
Plus the profile of Abraham Lincoln.
And shared the glorious show.
Which continued to brighten over the canyon walls.
Then softened.
Until I returned to the forest walk home.

Beautiful…..how relaxing! I wouldn’t be near the rim or standing on one of those isolate cliff areas…..too afraid of heights. Your middle shot of the sun just coming over the ridge is superb. Tonight it was cloudy and I wasn’t able to capture much. Hope you have a nice Friday!
Beautifully captured sky!
Fire in the Sky

These are stunning but I’m imagining that these photos doesn’t come close to seeing the real thing. One day, I promise
