Down the Saddle Mountain trail. But I didn’t follow it far as the day was waning and I had a long drive back home. Then it followed me.

Beautiful shadow shot!
I love shadow pictures. It’s about the only time I feel tall. :-)))
I know just what you mean Sherry.
You sure are a giant among those trees:) Looks like you’d need 1o king size beds put together. Is Paul Bunyan a relative?:)
I just love those long legs of mine. 😉 I get them from Paul.
Oh you know I love me a good shadow shot! A close second to a jumping photo, of course =)
At this age, I really don’t do a lot of jumping anymore so settle with fun shadow shots instead.
Nice, those shadows means its time to head home.
Fun shot!
Just hoping you have the right boots to wear!
Therese, I have several pairs of good hiking boots.
You are so tall ;>)…..it’s funny how shadows do that isn’t it?
I love looking tall in my shadow because I’m not tall.
the Point Sublime link caught my eye because when i read that john wesley powell thought it one of the best viewpoints in the Canyon i determined Janie and i would spend a day, sunrise to sunset, just to watch the changes in color and shadows. fascinating day, but as u noted a long ride which is why i always bring both the chain saw and a burly chain. i have cut my way in and out of several Canyon 2 tracks over the years and it feels so comfy to have my steel security blankets in the back plus my Hi Lift jack.
your readers might be interested in the rest of the story:
powell as u know, took thomas moran there 1873 to get an eye full from which he then drew his famous Chasm of the Colorado landscape [not to confuse with The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone] which was purchased by congress and influenced TR to make it a National Monument 1908 and we know the rest.
so Point Sublime, besides being a spectacular place, is heavy with history too.
always find myself drawn to the GC like a moth to a flame.
Steve, thanks for the added bit of history. I too believe Sublime is one of the best views of the canyon. When I return I’ll have rope and chain just in case. Don’t own a chain saw. Plus I’ll camp out there to watch sunrise and set. GC definitely has a strong draw.
When that shadow gets a bit long you don’t want to venture too far along a trail.
