p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Snowy Sunset at Desert View

After being up since 3 AM and already driving about 400 miles that day, I won the argument with common sense, and made a turn on Rt.64 towards Grand Canyon.
Did not regret my decision even a bit. Was there just in time for the golden hour.
Here is one of the shots.

C&C appreciated,

Sasha.

Thank you very much for all the responses!
I brought quite a few images, but really wanted to share this one first, as the contrast between cool snow and glowing red rock was shockingly beautiful.

Phil, thank you! "Cool" it was - after a wile, I got thoroughly frozen, even if I was dressed for Siberia. It was 10F on a rim.

Hey Sasha,

That is well worth the drive, a wonderful scene indeed. I would suggest to tone down the reds just a bit, they seem blown just a little bit to me. Other than that, a sweet scene.

Thank you, Jim.
Maybe it is blown, and maybe I need to recalibrate my monitor. But right now it just expresses the visual shock I experienced when all of a sudden, by pure magic, the sandstone lit up.

Thank you, Andrey!
I was told to change the avatar because it did not look like me, so here it is, brand new

Helen, thanks! The happiness I experienced there, on a rim, while watching this magic, was certainly worth the drive!
