Grand Canyon

·201 words·1 min

Since we have been travelling around the world for many years with my family and for work I have seen many wonderful places. Grand Canyon is by far one of the more magnificent sites I have seen. This summer on my family roadtrip with a rented RV we visited the south rim of the canyon in early July.

The area was dried out due to very dry weather the last few weeks but the day we  had our visit a proper thunder and rain storm came out of nowhere. The rain stopped as we parked the RV and it did not take long before the sun came out. The rain cleared the air and I think the views were even more spectacular due to the rain.

I think if you ever plan to visit the Grand Canyon you should plan to either get a sunrise or a sunset into your plans. The contrasts of the view is much nicer when you get the sun in from an angle and you can really see just how big the canyon is.

In the evening we did a walk along the rim enjoying a magical sunset, a most wonderful visit to the Grand Canyon.

This December has been very warm and windy, a lot of rain has taken the little snow we had and mostly washed it away. Not very good for all that have been looking forward to using skies and sleighs, but there is very little we can do with that.

American Sunsets

We had quite a few nice sunsets in the US this summer. Driving along the coast of California on highway 1 we had the sun set in the ocean, over Grand Canyon we had sun setting over the edge, in Los Angeles over the city … and they were all magnificent. Sunsets are a very popular photo motive and I really would like to get a remote or automated shutter with my tripod to take these photos, but usually I lack the gear when the opportunity presents itself.

Earlier this spring we rented a cabin from my employer, they have some few cabins around Norway for employees. This time my family went with my sister and her family to enjoy some days together. Very nice time with melting snow and a lot of fog, some rain and a wee bit of sunshine. Here are some of the shots I took while we were up there.
