Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, 31st October 2014.
We were at the Grand Canyon for two full days. Here are some images from the second day.
.
We found some flowers at one place we went. Jeni Bate tells me this is an Indian Paintbrush or Castilleja. It looks a little like a West Australian Kangaroo Paw.

I took some landscape photos during the day but this is the only one I’m showing here. Generally they were less compelling than the ones taken in low light. If you look closely you can see a trail zigzagging down to the bottom on the near ridge. It looks quite steep in places.
.
This is much later, looking into the distance haze of the late afternoon with a long telephoto lens.
.
And now the sunset has started.

.
The sun is going down….

Looking in the other direction there is a more subtle interplay of light and shapes.

.
And finally, looking back towards where the sun went down, a Rothko sunset.

The plant with the red flowers – the first shot – is Indian Paintbrush. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castilleja The Rothko sunset is rockin! Just the kind of thing I would paint.

Thank you Jeni. I corrected the text.
It was an amazing sunset. Of course you can never capture the full luminosity of the experience and therefore have to create something else.
