Description
Arizona is famous for its sunsets and for its Grand Canyon, and the two combined create an experience that will live with its viewer forever. The depth, scale, and majesty of Grand Canyon National Park is unlike anything in the world. Fiery reds, glowing golds, pastel purples and layers and layers of burnt orange temples, buttes for as far as the eye can see all combine to create a natural masterpiece. A sunset like this at Grand Canyon is perhaps the most stunning thing one can witness nature provide in the American Southwest.
As I was concluding my latest photography trip to the canyon, heading back up the South Rim Trail near Yavapai Point, what I assumed to be a finished sunset was just beginning. The sun had already set and the sky turned a pale blue-gray color, so I figured it was already over. Then, the landscape abruptly became illuminated in hues of orange and purple I thought only existed in magazines. Looking west, fire took the sky for an encore, aided by smoke in the atmosphere from wildfires.
As bold and beautiful as Arizona sunsets are, they are also fleeting. I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time for this one.

“I figured it was already over” you said. How many times I have been fooled by the majestic palette of the setting sun. Gorgeous image.
