Grand Canyon, North Rim, July 2021, Part 11 – Marble Canyon Views

We arrived at a national forest primitive camping area in the mid-day to early afternoon, where there were views across the canyon to Marble Canyon in the distance.

There is a trailhead here and we hike a short distance along the trail, down a steep slope then up a steep slope, to check out other views across the canyon.

Grand Canyon, North Rim, July 2021, Part 10 – Trees and Clouds

After our morning shoot, we drove around to explore the local area, getting to a couple of places with overviews of Marble Canyon in the distance.  At one of these areas I photographed a couple of interesting trees with the cloudy sky and/or the canyon in the background.

Tree and Clouds, Original Color Version

This lopsided tree was easily isolated against the cloudy sky.

Tree and Clouds, Black and White Version

I think the black and white version of this image is more dramatic.

Enduring

I captured several compositions of this deformed or broken tree with the clouds and canyon in the background.

I like the third image (vertical) of the deformed tree best, with the first (horizontal) a close second.

Until next time,
