Description
A breathtaking view showcases the Grand Canyon at sunset, with vivid orange and red hues reflecting off the rocky formations. Wispy clouds scatter across the sky, adding depth to the serene natural landscape.
This image is called a Cloudy "Battleship" Morning. One may question how these mesas and buttes in the Grand Canyon got their names in the first place? Many of the canyon's landmarks were named by geologist Charles Dutton who published one of the earliest detailed geologic studies of the canyon in 1882. Dutton believed that the canyon was such an important and impressive feature on the planet, the names of its features should reflect all the world's cultures and thus he chose many names from mythologies and legends from around the world.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
