Thanks. The top of the cloud Is included in the original raw image. Not a lot of real estate to work with because of file size restrictions on this site.

Different perspective from the usual. I really like the clouds.

Hi Ed, Towards the end of this short video I shot at the Grand Canyon during the same time I captured this image you can see the clouds moving in a time-lapse scene: https://youtu.be/-G68T7ZU90k

Point Imperial is one of my favorites. A nice shot, would love to have seen this in less harsh light - always a challenge outside of sunrise and sunset at the canyon.

Yes, that was around 1pm if I recall. My favorite shots came from when I hit the trail away for the main view point or overlooks. You can see an opinion piece here on why I prefer the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to the South rim. In short, the South Rim is was too crowded for me...

Totally agree - back when I was running Navajo Country workshops I only took my clients to the north rim.

The South Rim is stunning too, but too much like Disneyland for me...
