Default Grand Canyon West

Another DPS member, AC, has been sharing his vacation shots with us. He made a trip to the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon West Rim. I had mentioned to him that I had the opportunity to do some work out at that project and thought I had taken a couple of photos while there. I found some!

Grand Canyon West 007
Grand Canyon West 006
Grand Canyon West 003
Grand Canyon West 009

As always thanks for looking.

Mike

That is really cool Mike. I like the second shot a lot. Isn't it just great there?

Thanks, Leona. I took these a while back and I really want to get out there again soon.

Hey Mike, Thats very nice of you to share these images on my request. Thanks for that. I can see that you have a lot better photos, the colors are more lush. I was there at bright midday getting verry flat images. It must've been a nice thing tp work on such a unique project. These are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Ah Mike, these images bring back some wonderful memories. We visited the Skywalk in Sept 08 and had a wonderful time there, I would have loved to have worked on this brilliant site with you
These are super images and I think they are fantastic, love the colours and light and the detail in them is super. Thank you for sharing these with us, they have brought back some wonderful memories.
Have a great weekend.
David

You're quite welcome, AC. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to work out there. Thanks for your kind comments.

Hello, David. The West Rim does not have the great depth to it as the main portion of the Grand Canyon but it is still beautiful. Thanks for your kind comments my friend.

Mike

Stunning shots Mike. And how really cool that you got to be involved in some work constructing the skywalk. A chance in a lifetime.
