I was able to abstract this vista of the Grand Canyon by shooting into the misty dawn light, reducing visibility substantially, yet still retaining faint traces of the pinkish color in the textures of the huge mesas and bluffs rising from the canyon floor. I layer the image with a darker foreground that repeats the diagonal slopes that fade into the misty distance. While this image does not allow us to actually see the Grand Canyon itself, it stimulates the imagination to see it in the mind’s eye.
