Photographer's Note
This is the Fourteenth of Twenty Four of my Grand Canyon Series.
This is another beautiful and interesting view along the South Rim. The rock layers you see here, the one on top or what they call the "cap rock"is of Kaibab Limestone were deposited about 270 million years ago. The very bottom rock exposed at the bottom of the canyon are gneiss and schist, date as far back as 1.84 billion years ago. Geologists estimate that earth is 4.55 billion years old. The eologic story of the Grand Canyon is much richer in detail and mystery. At the Grand Canyon they give free ranger classes to move you from wonder to comprehension.

hi andre, fantastic image! i like the vertical format emphesizing the vastness of the canyon; excellent exposure handling - large areas in the shadow so well visible, and in the same time highly exposured parts are correctly handled, too;
delightful image;
best wishes, jerzy

Superb shot Andre!
The contrast between this amazing colours his just marvellous. Good POV and DOF with this white rock in foreground. The shades and layers in the background are fabulous. Good work with this one! I love it!

Andre
Took this out of your gallery. This is very spectacular stuff and the colour contrast amazingly. The POV is excellent in every way. Great work.

Hi Andre.
An impressive landscape very well captured. The composition, the light and the colour are really good, and there is a good depth in the picture.
A good work.
Regards.
