Description
The Grand Canyon, in Arizona is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and its vastness humbles the artist and photographer. It is such a joy to attempt to capture its beauty, needing to be in the right place at the right time.
Beautifully silhouetted Zoroaster Temple, on this wonderful August morning sunrise, full of atmosphere, with rain, lightning, giving marvelous morning sun rays at Mather Point viewpoint! Creating a gorgeous backdrop of "Grandiose Purple Rain!!" (I have never experienced such a glorious sunrise morning at the Grand Canyon). I would say it's so purplelicious!

Jeff Burgess
wonderful color in this most interesting capture. Love!
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you so much Jeff. I am glad you love it. Early morning summer sunrise at Grand Canyon National Park. A rainstorm rolled in and ruined it for some as they left. But then you miss all that atmospheric layers and crepuscular rays, along with beautiful colors.
Stephen Jenkins
That is amazing Janet, Beautifully captured L/F
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Stephen! It was an amazing morning indeed. An early morning summer rainstorm, with lightning and everything. I have never experience such a gorgeous sunrise. It was a being in the right place at the right time moment. I am delighted that you like this enough to choose it as one of your favorites. I really appreciate it!
Douglas Taylor
Glorious, magnificent photograph, Janet! Absolutely marvelous! Fav'd, and twice if I could.
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you SO much, Douglas, for your marvelous words expressed about my Grand Canyon, summer, sunrise. A glorious and magnificent moment indeed. We have never experienced anything like it. A summer morning rainstorm. Many left as they thought it was going to be a disappointing sunrise. It was just different, that's all, and the bonus, it was no longer crowded with people. I had a blast capturing the beauty to the west and to the east, such as this image.
Jurgen Lorenzen

Hartmut Jager
Janet you captured a magical moment in nature - with perfect colors, light and composition ! Most Excellent ! :-)
Janet Marie replied:
Hartmut! How special of you to visit another of my favorite wonders to photograph, atmospheric phenomena. It's was an aweSoMe morning at sunrise, one we had never experienced at the Grand Canyon before. Most had left in disappointment due to the cloud cover, rain, and lightning, BUT they missed out on the best, because it turned out to be a unique sunrise and glorious morning as you can see. What a privilege, these moments should make us appreciate the Creator of the sun, the earth, and our atmosphere, which makes possible such glorious displays. The Psalmist put it so nicely at Psalm 19:1, "The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above proclaim the work of his hands." And I get to capture it, and share my exhilarating experience. Thank you for your wonderful expressions and thoughts about my artwork. It means so much! đź’•Janet
