Description
A breathtaking view of the Grand Canyon stretches out under a sky dotted with fluffy clouds, as the golden light of sunrise highlights the rocky formations. Lookout Studio perches on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by trees and shrubs.
Lookout Studio is a stone building located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, within Grand Canyon National Park in in Arizona. It is part of the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, and is part of the Mary Jane Colter Buildings National Historic Landmark. The studio currently operates as a gift shop and observation station for visitors, with telescopes on its outdoor terrace. Lookout Studio was constructed by the Santa Fe Railway in 1914 and was established as a photography studio to compete with Kolb Studio. It is one of six buildings at the Grand Canyon that were designed by architect Mary Colter, along with Bright Angel Lodge, Hermit's Rest, Hopi House, Phantom Ranch, and Desert View Watchtower. Lookout Studio employs her signature rustic style of using jagged native rocks to imitate indigenous structures of the region and to blend in with the environment.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
