13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Near Mather Point, Grand Canyon National Park, South Rim - June 2015

Shot this picture just moments after coming through the woods and out to the overlook; I wanted to capture my very first in-person glimpse of the Canyon so I could try to convey the vastness and scale - I'm not sure any picture can do that with the Grand Canyon, but this was my attempt.
