Description
đź’•đź’•For more beauty of Grand Canyon National Park, please visit my "Grand Canyon Dreams" collectionđź’•đź’•
Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park (USA), 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, varied by all the atmospheric conditions at the time.
Ah, Shoshone Point, two miles southeast of Yaki Point. Not an easy find, as this point is not signposted along the Desert View Drive (east entrance drive). To get to this spot, one has to take a 20 minute walk, along a one mile unpaved (rocky, uneven, but level) road or path, through open ponderosa pine woodland.
At the end of the path, the cliffs form a narrow point of high land, that juts out from the plateau, and offering views of more than 180° of the Grand Canyon. This is a rim shot of that jutting plateau, looking north to Zoroaster and Brahma Temples, was so dramatic, sheer "Shoshone Point Grandeur. A photographers dream. Autumn, a lovely time to visit,
A beautiful painting of this spot, titled "Approaching Shoshone," can be seen in Jerry Bokowski's Gallery of Artwork (recently winning People's Choice Award Masters Meed).

Janet, promoting your beautiful photography of Shoshone Point in the Beauty of Arizona discussion thread Famous Rock Formations and Mountains of Arizona. FB
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, dear Jerry, for sharing your wonderful comment and promoting it on Facebook. I really appreciate it!
Paul Malen
Thew Grand Canyon is so hard to photograph but this one is running in the depth you have created
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you Paul for sharing your thoughts about this. What can add to the difficulty of photographing the Grand Canyon is not being so familiar with what to photograph. Living in the Grand Canyon state of Arizona has afforded me many opportunities to visit there and really get to know it well. Plus I have a husband who has painted her more than 25 times. So you really get to know all the various rocks, temples, buttes, and all the places to go and view, as well as the time of day and the time of year. I am very grateful for that opportunity. I am glad to see that it brought you joy to view my photography of the grandest Canyon on earth.

Very nice piece Janet; love the light in this one; and love those blues and subtle oranges and yellows! Great capture of light if I may add. Have to admit - haven't heard of Shoshone Point before; I have to do some research now for my next trip! From what I'm reading here it looks like it is definitely worth it. I Like this very much.
Janet Marie replied:
Hany! How delightfully sweet of you to share such luscious words about this. Thank you for that. It’s most appreciated. After going to Grand Canyon for 45 years, the first time to this out of the way place, not marked on the maps.
