Grand Canyon Dawn

Black Friday and the girls decided to head out at 4AM to shop and I headed for the Grand Canyon to watch the sunrise. Even though it was 15 and windy I stll think got the better end of the deal.

    This is a great shot, love the 3-D look of the up close brush because of the lighting. I have been there a couple times and wishI could get there more often, but living in Wisconsin is a bit costly with the price of gas etc. Keep up the goo work
