Taken from the South Rim during winter when the sun sinks southerly creating long shadows and interesting shapes. I’d love to have that bird’s eye view. What do you see?
To view more shadows go to Shadow Shot Sunday 2.
People often ask where the best place to watch sunset is while visiting the North Rim. Anywhere from Bright Angel Point and all along the Transept trail which runs on the western side of the peninsula.
My favorite place is Cape Royal because of the east, south and west views. However, I don’t really like the very dark 45-minuet drive back when wildlife can abound. Or bound in front of your vehicle.
If you like to be waited on and enjoy an adult beverage or snacks hang out at the Grand Lodge either in the sunroom or out on the veranda. All these photos were taken from the east veranda looking south with sunset reflected off the clouds.
To enjoy skies from around the world go to Sky Watch Friday.
Those crazy gals from The Good Luck Duck are boondocking out on the Kaibab National Forest not far from Grand Canyon.
Of course with a Great Big Duck and a itty bitty car they can’t really get too far off the beaten path.
So on one of my days off last week we all loaded into my Big truck and went for a ride through the forest to the canyon’s rim at Crazy Jug Point. We rode about 35 miles on good gravel road doable by most vehicles unless there’s been a lot of rain, plus be prepared to either move down trees across the road, or turn around. I brought rope along this time but didn’t need it.
There was not another soul anywhere around, except for us three.
The silence upon our arrival was palpable.
A monsoon storm hung over the plateau to the southwest but we never felt a drop.
Thanks for an awesome day and a special treat for me when Annie drove us back. She likes Big trucks.
To tour more of the world go to Our World Tuesday.
