There is a fleeting moment in the canyon where the light doesn't just illuminate the stone—it sets it on fire. This piece captures that moment of transformation. As a visual storyteller, I was struck by the way the sun reaches into the ancient, shadowed depths of the canyon, turning cold rock into a glowing, radiant sanctuary, while lighting up the dry scrub brush. It is an image about hope and the persistence of light in the deepest places. I waited for sunrise to capture the magnificence of this section of the canyon at the South Rim. The dry scrub bush in the foreground captured the golden rays as the rest of the canyon depth showed of its hues of red and magenta and brown and yellow and colors that I do not have the right words to describe!
The Grand Canyon lives up to its reputation as one of the most magnificent natural wonders.
