I had not planned on moonsets when visiting the Grand Canyon, but it sure was a nice surprise and added an extra element of interest to the photographs ... not that this iconic location really needs it. The best part of that morning was that I was the only person there. It was so peaceful. Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA, March 2023

Having arrived late to the Grand Canyon, I caught a few hours of sleep before waking up and heading over in the dark to Mather Point in hopes for a sunrise. To my surprise, the moon was setting in the west, an added bonus. Despite its brightness, you can still see some stars in the sky. This is the first photograph taken at the canyon on the trip. Having snow on the canyon walls also added another dimension to the scenes during the week. You don't normally think of it, but the south rim of the canyon has an elevation of 7,000 feet. It's going to be cold up there in there winter and early spring. This is a three exposure HDR using a single exposure for the sky. Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, March 2023
