Far freakin out man, what timing and great use of BW. The BW really sets it off, because of the nebulousness of the clouds, I think of what is hidden (left to the imagination), in this view from a castle in the sky, of sorts. Thanks for sharing, and your kind comment on my pan. YOur folio kicks ass. cheers, t

I have actually flown around the rim of the canyon when this has occurred and it's a fascinating sight to behold and a little interesting in a small plane. Words fail me to comment on the image itself as I'm too caught up in the content of the subject. Thank you for sharing this. I just love cloudy images.
Thank you also for taking to the time to view my images and for your comments. Cheers - Ann :)

Splended photo, Paul. My sunny sixteen rule obviously doesn't work in the Grand Canyon! Your exposure and conversion to B&W are absolutely spot on. Almost, from the thumbnail, like one of those time-exposure cliches of waves dashing against the rocky shore and getting all fuzzy and smeared, but a 100 or 1000 times more impact for being REAL CLOUDS. Are temperature inversions like this fairly common, or very unusual? They are fairly common where I come from in the UK (Bristol in the SW), usually in Autumn, where we knew them as fogs. Of course that's experiencing them from underneath, not from above. I think I prefer above.

"The Grand Canyon is not as easy to photograph (at least well) as people think ... the vastness, differences in lighting, and picking the right perspective is always a challenge." - Paul's Photos
How true you stated that on mine which I did indeed greatly appreciate, but you have proven it's worth in truthfulness 'Ten - Fold' with this your own image with great vertical impact and clarity destined to be rendered in B&W!
Thanks once again Paul for the mutual interest - Best of Regards!
