Friday Foto Fun 13


A Break in the Clouds
Originally uploaded by philputnam.

Ah...finally! A Friday Foto that isn't a repeat. This was a shot from an epic journey I took with some friends a couple of years ago, a journey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and back again. The weather on this trip was unseasonably wet for the canyon. Lots of rain at night, usually right at bedtime. Huge gusts of wind whipped over the edge of the rim, along with lots of precipitation.

This shot was taken on the ascent out. A strong storm had just hit the opposite rim, which was about 8 miles away. Suddenly, the sun broke through the clouds for just a moment, and I snapped this shot.
