  • There's something peaceful about standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon as the cold chill of the morning air gives way to the warmth of the rising sun. The deep shadows slowly fill with light and the colors of the canyon walls begin to take on pastel hues.

  • In this winter scene from the Grand Canyon, the canyon walls frame Isis Temple in the distance. I had arrived at the trailhead over an hour before sunrise in near whiteout conditions. The wind was howling, and the snow was blowing sideways. I set off down the trail in the dark with my headlamp lighting the way. A short distance into the canyon, I came upon a large snowdrift that wasn't there the day before when I had scouted the scene. The snow drift was completely blocking the trail, so I felt it was unsafe to continue in the dark and decided to n to the trailhead. About 15 minutes before sunrise, I started back down the trail again, and this time I could safely make it through the snow drift and to the spot on the trail from which I could photograph the canyon. Mother nature wasn't exactly cooperating this morning, with the view into the canyon still obscured by clouds below the rim and falling snow. A little over an hour after sunrise, the storm began to clear, and I was able to photograph Isis Temple while there was still dreamy quality to the atmosphere.
