  • A rare weather phenomenon called a temperature inversion fills the Grand Canyon with clouds. This happens when cold air is trapped below the rim by hot air above. This particular event is very rare in that the entire canyon has been filled with fog, something which only happens once every 10 years.

  • A fast moving late May storm brought low clouds and snow showers to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. As the storm cleared I was treated to this Brocken spectre and glory that lasted for only a few seconds. A Brocken spectre is an optical phenomenon where the sun casts a long shadow into the mist and fog below, and a glory is the rainbow halo that appears around the head of the person's shadow and is caused by light refracting of water droplets in the atmosphere.

  • Rain falling from a monsoon thunderstorm is backlit by the setting sun causing the sky to appear to be on fire as lightning erupts from the storm and strikes the Grand Canyon. I created this image by stacking 6 images shot back-to-back and merged in Photoshop (using a technique similar to creating star-trail photos) so that I could show the intensity of this storm
