A self portrait at the Grand Canyon north rim with the Milky Way in the distance. This was just as the moon was going behind the clouds. As it did, things became darker than dark.
You’ve not seen anything until you’ve seen the Grand Canyon lit by moonlight. The clouds would not behave, but in the end I had an hour where they cleared up and the first quarter moon shown down into the canyon while the Milky Way rose. And then, all too soon, the clouds once again hid the moon and the canyon was again plunged into darkness. The silly part was, I had the entire canyon all to myself. I did not see a single sole out that night. Road trip day 15. I’m on a 40+ day, 5,000+ mile #roadtrip of the western United States. #grandcanyon #milkyway #moonlight #moonlitcanyon — at Grand Canyon Lodge.
