The perfect recipe for beauty: a rising sun, lazily moving clouds, and millions of years of erosion. About a week ago, I drove out along snowy and icy roads along the Grand Canyon's rim out to witness these views the morning after a modest snow storm, leaving a dusting along the canyon edges. As the morning progressed, the clouds began to clear, leaving me with spectacular lighting conditions and wonderful panoramic views.

The clouds add incredible depth to the image!

They do, I got very lucky! Often, pictures I've seen of the canyon in the daytime are a bit washed out and bright when the sun is high overhead on a clear day. I got lucky that at least until about 10 or 11, beautiful clouds darted across the sky and clung to the north rim opposite me. A spectacular day.

I've been there, it was indeed mid-afternoon and the pictures I took were flat and washed out. Best I could do with the time I had.

Excellent photo. Anyone who hasn’t been to this part of the country - no photo does it justice. It’s breathtaking and awe inspiring to stand over that edge and look down. There’s also half a dozen or so insanely beautiful national parks within a couple hours drive from the Grand Canyon

All too true, and thank you! I need to spend more time exploring more of AZ; this was only my second time going but I know there is much more to see.
