It was taken along the South Rim at the Grand Canyon, at Powell's Point. We climbed out beyond the main observation platform, and got out to the farthest reach of the rock outcropping we could. We were trying to take pictures of the sunset, but Mother Nature threw a snowstorm at us instead. it was a very intense storm, the wind was blowing wildly, and the snow was blowing sideways. The clouds were rolling and tumultuous. Trying to capture that was my new challenge. The image that resulted is some what other worldly to me, it shows such an inhospitable place, in the middle of a big storm. It has to be my favorite image from the trip to this point.
I am not done going through them, there are over 2,300, but so far, this one is my new favorite.

I'm not wildly fond of the Grand Canyon, as you know. But your photo is sureal. Thank you for capturing the moment. We forget at times the beauty that surrounds us.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words.
The Grand Canyon on its own, was cool to me, I enjoyed it, and the photographic and daredevil opportunities it provided. I was not fond of the crowds, but since I could not understand 90% of them, it was easy to ignore them. We did take the less tourist route, and did the trail mostly on foot. That gave us not only more viewpoints, but less people, far less people.
