Sky Watch #40


LVGC0048, originally uploaded by M'roy.

On that beautiful February day this year, there was snow on the ground and blue skies as we spend time with Mother Earth's grandest of all canyon.

There is plenty more sky watch photos, here.

    Here a story starts, that's how it looks. A fantastic view and the tree is so cool (like a drawing or a computer animation)

    Have to disagree with your blog's introductory statement - this is absolutely awe inspiring. (However, I do find the signature where it is intrusive.)

    If you have birds in flight or hang-glider it will be perfect.

    Oh..just gorgeous. I've never seen the Canyon with snow. It really helps accentuate the formations. Lucky you to capture this photo on such a perfect day.

    Thanks for stopping by my sunset...it was a great sunset for us, wasn't it! Skies like that don't visit us very often in the SF Bay Area...
