Description
Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and its vastness humbles the artist and photographer. It is such a joy to attempt to capture its beauty, needing to be in the right place at the right time.
This wonderful August morning sunrise, was full of atmosphere, with misty rain, blue sky coming about, creating lights and shadows to the Canyon's famous landmark Vishnu Temple looking East. I loved how the Canyon was backlit, amidst a rainy backdrop, creating luscious layers of the Canyon, with a silhouetted O'Neill's Butte in the foreground. Phenomenal, crepuscular rays sweeping across the Canyon. So ethereal, "Surreal Sunrise Splendor!"

Jerry Bokowski
I must agree with what other fellow artists said about this, and I quote, "this is just one of those images you see that radiates so much awesomeness, it makes the viewer want to be there - it is so atmospheric and a unique take on the Grand Canyon!" and "Surreal Splendor indeed!! I thought the previous image I commented on was atmospheric; this one climbs to the top of atmospheric. Love those layers and layers and layers of beauty, magic and intrigue. Superbly well done!" A phenomenally surreal morning that day, at Grand Canyon National Park, it certainly spared us nothing short of grandeur.
