Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) At the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, on the way to Bright Angel Point I stopped to gaze at this. In 1869, during his exploration of the Colorado River, near this area at the bottom, Major John Wesley Powell discovered a small creek of crystal clear water, glistening in the sun. He named it The Bright Angel, and that is why this pathway leads to Bright Angel Point. Here, I found this small opening that provides a beautiful view of the canyon and a distant horizon. The frame made by the rocks and trees, made me feel as if I were looking through ...Nature's Window.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
