Sunrise at the Grand Canyon

Barbara got up at 5 a.m. to go see the sunrise from Bright Angel Point, near the main lodge.  Below are pictures for your enjoyment.  FYI, in the first photo, the South Rim visitor center is virtually in the middle on the rim in the far distance.  Underneath it is a pretty wide shadow in a "V" shape, where the morning sun hasn't hit it yet.

    For those who have an interest, the first and last photos were taken without any special effect.  The middle two were taken with a rose-colored filter over the lens.  Notice how the latter brings out the reds and makes the sky almost purple.
