Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon vista with layered canyon walls receding to the horizon under a wide sky

Indentations. Silence. Earth and water, and blades of purple.

Grand Canyon vista with layered canyon walls receding to the horizon under a wide sky
A black and white view across the Grand Canyon, with layered rock terraces and mesas receding toward a flat horizon under a pale cloudy sky. In the foreground, a dark twisted juniper grows at the rim beside a fallen, sun-bleached branch with a tall vertical limb rising from it.
A wide dusk view into the Grand Canyon, with layered blue-grey buttes receding to a flat horizon under a streaked orange and grey sky. A pale ribbon of the Colorado River is visible far below in the shadowed gorge, while a red sandstone ridge fills the foreground.
A blocky red sandstone butte rises from a scrub-dotted ridge in the Grand Canyon, its horizontal rock layers catching flat afternoon light. Behind it, pale gray talus slopes and hazy purple-toned cliff terraces recede into the canyon depths.
A bearded man in a dark tank top, shorts and trail shoes stands in profile on a flat rock ledge at the Grand Canyon, a camera and strap held in his hands and a daypack with a water bottle on his back. Behind him the canyon drops away in layered terraces toward a flat horizon, with large cumulus clouds filling the upper half of the black and white frame.
A wide view into the Grand Canyon from a rim ledge, with layered red and gray rock terraces, flat-topped buttes and a broad fan of pale gray scree filling the middle distance. Heavy cumulus clouds break over patches of blue sky above the far canyon wall, and scrubby green brush and a bleached branch sit in the foreground.
A woman in a dark tank top, shorts and a teal daypack stands on a pale limestone ledge at the edge of the Grand Canyon, gripping a pine branch and facing the layered red and gray buttes below. Gnarled pinyon pines frame both sides of the frame, and towers of white cumulus rise over the far rim beneath deep blue sky.
A black and white view across the Grand Canyon, with dark layered rock terraces and isolated buttes receding into haze toward a flat distant rim. The upper half of the frame is a pale, lightly clouded sky above the horizon line.
A shirtless boy with a hiking stick and small backpack stands on a rust-colored sandstone outcrop above the Grand Canyon, hand on hip, while an older boy in a grey t-shirt looks out over the rim to the left. Behind them, layered red and grey buttes recede toward a flat plateau under tall cumulus clouds.
A wide view of the Grand Canyon under a heavy overcast sky, with a blocky red sandstone butte rising on the right above a rubble-strewn ridge dotted with low shrubs and juniper. To the left, layered gray and mauve canyon walls recede toward flat-topped mesas on the far horizon.
High-contrast black and white photograph of a person's shadow, arm raised holding a camera, projected across stratified sandstone ledges at the Grand Canyon. A small dry shrub grows from a crack in the rock at the top of the frame, and deep black shade fills the lower portion of the image.
A gnarled juniper with a twisted, bare trunk grows from red gravel soil at the edge of the Grand Canyon, with a bleached dead branch sprawling across the right foreground. Behind it a flat-topped sandstone butte rises from banded canyon walls that recede toward a distant plateau under tall cumulus clouds.
A tightly framed telephoto view into the Grand Canyon showing stacked ridges, cliff bands and talus slopes in muted gray, mauve and dusty red. A sunlit red rock plateau dotted with small shrubs fills the lower foreground while deep shadowed side canyons recede into haze above.
A hiker in a tank top, shorts and small backpack stands on a boulder at the base of a towering, horizontally layered canyon wall, holding a camera and looking toward the rock. Bleached sandy ground with fallen bare logs and scattered stones fills the foreground.
A telephoto view into the Grand Canyon shows a pale dirt trail winding across broad grey shale slopes, with a band of eroded red sandstone cliffs and scrub-covered talus below, and pine and juniper foliage framing the right edge and foreground.
A bearded man in a black tank top, black shorts and a dark backpack stands on red sandstone at the edge of the Grand Canyon, facing away from the camera with a thin arc of liquid falling into the void. Behind him, banded red and tan cliff walls rise in layers toward a cloudy sky.
A high, hazy black and white view into the Grand Canyon, with receding ridges and terraced cliffs stacked from dark foreground rock to pale distant mesas. A narrow bend of the Colorado River reads as a bright white ribbon at the base of the inner gorge.
A wide view from a rocky trail cut into red sandstone on the right, where several small figures sit and stand on a ledge near scattered shrubs and prickly pear. To the left the Grand Canyon drops away in layered cliffs and terraces receding into blue haze, under a sky filled with broken white cloud.
A wide view across the Grand Canyon at sunset, with layered red and gray buttes receding into haze and a thin bend of the Colorado River visible in the shadowed depths. Above the flat horizon, a break in the cloud deck lets orange light fan out across a sky of gray and lavender cloud bands.
