Daily Dose of the Southwest: A Stormy Symphony

With the holidays in full swing here, I’m keeping the Daily Doses brief this week.

So here’s one I pulled from the archives, from a stormy afternoon at Grand Canyon’s Lipan Point in August 2014. I took this photo during a stop while I was giving a tour. Most days on the tour circuit, the weather was clear and I usually didn’t bust out the camera.

However, on this particular afternoon, the monsoon activity inspired me to click the shutter. I loved how the sun breaking diagonally through the clouds emphasized the tilted strata of the one-billion-year-old Grand Canyon Super Group rocks down by the Colorado River.

That’s it for today’s Daily Dose, enjoy your week!
