Snow on the Rim

Snow on the Rim · 10:21 AM

The recent snows stuck around, so my GF and I finally went north and hour and a half to the Grand Canyon to see what we could see. We went cross country skiing along the rim and came back with a bunch of shots here are a few:

This is just amazing to see this view with snow in it!

Great images and thanks for sharing them!

The first shot is very good. Love the view and the quality of light.

Great shots Wade, this is my favourite place and you have done it proud.

Thanks for sharing, and making me feel very nostalgic.

Really great - with some excellent dynamic range.

Have you tried losing some of the shadow detail (Curves/Levels) to create a really contrasty mountain scene.

No's 1&3 could work quite well in B&W as well

cheers

Thanks guys. You are all most kind, I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. I filled 2 -2gb cards on that trip, so I'll post more later. Thanks for looking!

A really nice series of the GC. This is one of the best times of the year to go too. Another place to go on my itinerary.

Cool shots

Is this the South Rim? I am going there in April and am really looking forward to it, this will be my first trip there, but I'm sure it won;t be my last.

Yeah, the South Rim. They close the North Rim for winter, and re-open May 15th I think. Thanks for looking.
