Depending on where you’re from and what language is spoken you may know Wotan as the Norse god Odin who ruled from Valhalla.
But here on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park early geologist Clarence Dutton, who named many of the landmarks in the canyon, called this Wotans Throne seen from Cape Royal at the end of the Walhalla Plateau.
His wife, Freya, has a rock castle nearby which was buried in fog.

Gaelyn, the canyon always looks awesome.. Love the dramatic skies. Happy Skywatching!
Was absolutely fantastic out there yesterday!
Truly stunning study in contrasts. Just beautiful photography!
Thanks Lynda. It was SO gorgeous out there yesterday. And I’m practicing with, new to me, Lightroom for processing.
It will be so good to see this – be there soon.
Sunset tonight is gorgeous.
How lucky you are to watch the clouds roll over the canyon, the changing moods from day to day.
I never tire of looking at the many moods of the canyon.
I love how the canyon has so many moods. Always striking.
Never a bad view.
