Watch Tower

This is early in the morning at the famous Grand Canyon Watch Tower. Usually it's really crowded here, people visiting the gift shop or walking up the stairs to the high tower. Now it's empty and very quiet.

Desert View Watch Tower

Waited here since five o'clock in the morning for the sun to rise behind the famous Grand Canyon Watch Tower. We saw some huge elks grazing along the walkway. One really large male with three females. They were not shy at all, which is no wonder as they all were big and strong. Then suddenly the sun sent her first rays into the canyon, and a large bird flew by enjoying the updraft. What an exciting moment. Down below flows the magic Colorado River.

Misty Morning at the Grand Canyon

Slowly at 5:30 in the morning the first sun rays arrived at the Grand Canyon and lit up the Colorado River which is not always so clearly visible. It was a beautiful sight! In the distance on the Eastern Side of the canyon is the Desert View where the Watch Tower is located.

Navajo Bridge

This amazing steel bridge spans the Colorado River in Arizona near Marble Canyon and Lee's Ferry. The bridge on the left is for vehicles traveling on U.S. Route 89A. The right side is for pedestrians only, it was the older bridge. Both run 470 feet high. The view down to the Colorado River is breathtaking.

Flowing Forms

There is a harmony in these flowing forms. This scenery reminds me of a “symphony in color” where the musical waves flow into each other to create a beautiful harmony.

Peace of Mind in Monument Valley.

If one is looking for some peace of mind, this scenery which runs along Hwy 163 in the Monument Valley, on the Arizona side, is a perfect place. One can observe the creation of these beautiful, ever changing, sandy waves while relaxing right there.

View of the Valley

It was still early and no one was at the little jewelry stand which had broken down. The valley was quiet and the view was wide and clear all the way to the village and the mountains in the far distance.

View into the North Rim

This side of the Grand Canyon is not so dry. There are lots of trees and bushes. And the red rocks that are dry and bare on the South Rim are covered here with green shrubs. That gives a totally different impression of the magnificent Grand Canyon.

Morning at the Colorado River

On this side is Nevada and over there is Arizona. And in between flows the magnificent Colorado River. The wind is blowing very strong from down South. It's hard to stand still and hold the camera.

At the Colorado River

If we had a little boat we could cross the Colorado River and be in Arizona shortly. But driving to the other side will take many hours, if it's possible at all, as the terrain is wild and rough. This point is at the end of Navada SR 165, about an hour South of Las Vegas.

Party in Williams, AZ

After everyone had checked out the beautiful Oldies they went to the Crusers Cafe 66, featuring a gorgeous red sportscar on their roof, and got lunch while the band played some Rock'n Roll in the street. A perfect afternoon!

It is a Great Day

It seemed to be a good idea to capture the contrast between light and shadow using monochrome. Especially the clouds turned out really powerful. What an amazing landscape! This is the view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon looking towards the Desert in the East.

If They Can Make It Here . . .

. . . They Can Make It Anywhere. These pretty little flowers were holding onto the rock, come wind or high water. Life at the Grand Canyon can be rough. It’s between 5,000-9,000 feet high. Hot in the summer and cold with snow in the winter.

A View Through the Trees

Looking at the Grand Canyon through the trees creates a soft image of the canyon which is actually very rough and rocky the further you go down into it. Plus in the summer it's really hot on the trails inside the canyon.

Hermits Rest Fireplace

The main structure currently standing at Hermits Rest was designed by architect Mary Colter. It is the most western point on the Canyon's South Rim. The fireplace is definitely used and seems to still be working fine.

Hermits Rest, Grand Canyon

Around 1891 a lady by the name of Louis Boucher had this place built here. It's called Hermits Rest and is the westernmost point on the Canyon's South Rim that is accessible by Coach or Trolley. The building was designed to appear to be a natural stone formation, closely tied to the land with the same color rocks. This is the porch overlooking the canyon.

Hermits Rest

In the old days after a streneous hike along the rim of the Grand Canyon people could stay here for a while. Today we get there by trolley and can find things at a little shop.
