I have mentioned before that the best time to see the Grand Canyon is when there is a storm. This shot is no exception. It is sometimes hard to remember that the South Rim of the Canyon lies at about 7000 feet or 2134 meters above sea level. That is higher than many mountains. The North Rim is even higher at over 8200 feet or about 2438 meters above sea level. It can be below freezing on the Rim, while at the same time the temperature at the bottom of the Canyon can be above 90 degrees F.
Taking pictures in extreme weather conditions is also a challenge. When the wind is blowing at above 30 mph, you don't want to get too close to the edge.
