GC at Sunrise 3

Grand Canyon at Sunrise, from camp at South Bass Canyon, seven years ago, 3/15/2011.

Two more from pre-dawn/sunrise. The prominence in the center is Holy Grail Temple. Not the best photos, but they do capture the feeling of early morning darkness and light.

 The sunlight sneaks into the day.

Grand Canyon at pre-dawn, from camp South Bass Canyon, seven years ago, 3/15/2011. (one month early, I didn't set the date right on the first try)

I didn't think there would be enough light, by my camera held the shutter open about a half-second, getting some good shots that could be tuned to be interesting. I really ought to read the manual and figure out how to do these things on purpose.
