"Clearing Storm over North Rim"
January 2010, Grand Canyon, Arizona
The Grand Canyon is so vast that I had to use a 400mm lens to get this shot across the chasm to the north rim. Like the south rim upon which I was standing, the north rim had been absolutely buried in snow over the last few days. With an elevation of 8000 feet, the north rim is about 1000 feet higher than the south rim.
To put things in perspective, those hundreds of tiny trees on the top of the rim are Ponderosa Pines, one of the tallest of all pine species. Each of the trees in this image are probably at least 50 feet tall. There is a reason why this canyon is called grand.
