Lake Kaweah, CA

California Hwy 198, also called Sierra Drive, runs along Lake Kaweah. The hills are covered in this beautiful soft grass and the lake has now a light blue color, because I photographed against the sun. I thought this was just gorgeous and I had a great time around this lake.

It is a Great Day

It seemed to be a good idea to capture the contrast between light and shadow using monochrome. Especially the clouds turned out really powerful. What an amazing landscape! This is the view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon looking towards the Desert in the East.

If They Can Make It Here . . .

. . . They Can Make It Anywhere. These pretty little flowers were holding onto the rock, come wind or high water. Life at the Grand Canyon can be rough. It’s between 5,000-9,000 feet high. Hot in the summer and cold with snow in the winter.

A View Through the Trees

Looking at the Grand Canyon through the trees creates a soft image of the canyon which is actually very rough and rocky the further you go down into it. Plus in the summer it's really hot on the trails inside the canyon.

The main structure currently standing at Hermits Rest was designed by architect Mary Colter. It is the most western point on the Canyon's South Rim. The fireplace is definitely used and seems to still be working fine.

Hermits Rest, Grand Canyon

Around 1891 a lady by the name of Louis Boucher had this place built here. It's called Hermits Rest and is the westernmost point on the Canyon's South Rim that is accessible by Coach or Trolley. The building was designed to appear to be a natural stone formation, closely tied to the land with the same color rocks. This is the porch overlooking the canyon.

The Hopi House

This building at the Grand Canyon Village was constructed in 1904 according to the traditional methods of building of the Hopi Indians. The interior walls are plastered with adobe, and the ceilings are composed of saplings, twigs and grass covered with mud, which resembles how huts were built in the old days. Now there is a little store inside.

Good morning Grand Canyon!

Had to get up early to be in place at 5:00am to see the Grand Canyon wake up. The air was cold and fresh. Needed an extra jacket. But the walk and the wait was worth every minute of it. We saw a huge Elk with three females right next to us. They were not shy at all. Now the Canyon looks like on fire. Fantastic scenery!

Watchtower at Desert View

Found this scenic view towards the Watchtower which is situated above the Grand Canyon. One can visit the tower and walk upstairs to have a fantastic view far into the desert to the East or straight down into the magnificent Canyon below. During vacation season it’s crowded, but in fall and spring the temperatures are great and the trails are not crowded.

A sunny day at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This side of the Canyon is rugged and wild and beautiful. Hikers and people who love isolated areas come here and enjoy the view. As it is much farther away from any large city, you will not find millions of tourists during holidays. Plus the park is closed in the winter till May.

Rugged North Rim

This is a closer view of the Grand Canyon North Rim mountains. It was cold and kind of hazy and dark even though it was already May. What really attracted my attention is the enormous might of this canyon. It's so close and yet so distant. We met a young couple some time ago on the South Rim that just had finished the hike coming from the North Rim. They mentioned the beauty and also the strain they experienced. They were happy and totally exhausted.
