This is one of my all time favorite photos and also one of my first real landscape shots. I took it 9 years ago on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As I arrived at Yaki Point in the pre-dawn darkness thick clouds were still covering the sky. So I explored and waited, not knowing if the sun would show up that morning. But finally the clouds parted a bit and let the sun glimpse through for a few minutes. The display of light that morning was magical, a moment I will never forget.
