This is KINDA how I remember The Grand Canyon at dusk.
Many years ago I spent two weeks at the bottom of it, rafting The Colorado River.
Of course the desert changes constantly through the course of a day.

I’ve never been, but that was my first thought when I saw this picture that you’ve colored so impressively. The colors you’ve used add a glow to the picture. That is exactly what I’d expect with all the red rocks, sand and dirt and the colors of the sun setting. It’s so beautiful!!

Thank you @brenda ! I couldn’t, of course, do it full justice. I bet google would find some mind-blowing pics.

Sensational colours and you’re right about the Grand Canyon, I showed your picture to my husband and I said I want your first thought and he said Grand Canyon 🤗💜💜💜👏👏

@Jenny Tsc 🤗🇦🇺🌺 that is so cool!!! That you’d show him and that he immediately got what I was going for.
It’s kinda impressionistic. The water isn’t very much like that color; it just worked for this pic.
I could (and may) do other versions: morning, high noon, midnight ... 🙂

LOVE THE COLORS—so very beautiful! You need to check out Alt National Park & Forest Service (if you have FB) if not google their website — they made vintage posters based on the worst yelp reviews of national forests—they are so funny—The Grand Canyon—A Hole. A Very, Very Large Hole. The posters are beautiful yet funny.

@WingGret1971 ♥️♥️✌🏻🇳🇮🇺🇸 I can only imagine.
“From all I’d heard about the Grand Canyon, I thought it was gonna be like Disney World! NO rides. NO concessions. NO souvenir stands. NO performers. Just a boring hole.”

@Lionfish it’s amazing at any time of day. Even my first visit, which was simply stopping for a view from the rim, blew me away. The immensity of space and silence and color ... you feel like you’re visiting earth millennia before humans arrived.

@Tee H there really is no way to color THE Grand Canyon, or SW desert, is there.
I’ve seen it change in minutes.

I’ll write myself a memo and forget where I put it, to visit there if I ever get a chance to go to America!!😍😍😍 I’ll store it right next to my memos to see the Rift Valley, Table Mountain, the Dayr el-Bahri, Petra and Lalibela... sadly, the list is getting too long, and I’m stuck at home because of a stupid virus!!😡😢🤓 (& I’m secretly hoping this comment will get you stuck in Wikipedia for a few hours!!🤗❤️😂😂🤣)
