Good Morning, Supai!

Havasupai Indian Reservation is a Native American reservation for the Havasupai people. Havasupai is a combination of the words Havasu (meaning "blue-green water") and pai (meaning "people"), thus meaning "people of the blue-green waters". This was taken in the early morning near Havasupai Falls - the rising sun peeked through the forest and brightened the famous waterfalls, while the reflected light from behand revealed the small pond and emerald color water in the red sandstone canyon.
