A waning crescent moon rises over the Mogollon Rim on the first day of Summer, 2014.
This is from a late winter, early spring storm in May 2013. I'd never been to Sycamore Canyon south of Williams and had only heard of it a few weeks prior. This looks like a monsoon shot, but was way before that season. I'd spent the entire day on the opposite side of the canyon at Harding Point looking for a good overview like this, but nothing was worthy of hanging around for. The weather on this day was absolutely fantastic. I couldn't have asked for better conditions to create my environmental portrait of this stunning and rarely visited canyon.
Smoke from a fire on the Kaibab Plateau adds haze to the overlook at Buck Farms in the Marble Canyon Wilderness. This seldom seen area is 30 miles south of the Vermillion Cliffs in northern Arizona.
