Beyond Infinity - Sunset over the Grand Canyon, Freya Castle, Vishnu Temple and Colorado River
North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Belt of Venus Sunset over the Grand Canyon, Freya Castle, Vishnu Temple and Colorado River on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park
Alpenglow at Dusk illuminates the skies over the Grand Canyon, Freya Castle, Vishnu Temple, Unkar Creek and the Colorado River as Rayleigh scattering from after sunset illuminates the Palisades of the Desert along the east rim and south rim of the Grand Canyon.
The North Rim, and the Ethereal Magic of a Remote Section of Grand Canyon
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon has long been one of my favorite places. It's extremely isolated and sees less than 10% of the visitors that the South Rim does, but views are equally stunning in their own way. When you go exploring off the beaten path, you'll often find views like this that really put into scale how grand this vista is. It's incredibly remote there. It's 18 miles across to the Palisades of the Desert from here. The Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim is 21 miles from here. It really puts the solitude you can find at this place in perspective.
The Grand Canyon's North Rim is a remote place where the closest hint of civilization other than the lodge and cabins might well be the 18 miles straight across the canyon, as Jacob Lake is 55 miles the other direction with a whole lot of remote landscapes in between. The remote landscape of the North Rim is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, especially at sunrise and sunset when that magic light illuminates the canyon and the rocks, seemingly bringing them alive as a warm, ethereal glow stretches out across the landscape.
Time always stands still out here. It's easy to get lost in the moment when you're this isolated, and that's always been one of my favorite things about this magical place. It's one of those places I'll always return to, no matter how many times I've been.

These statement pieces combine the award-winning brilliance of Lumachrome HD with the craftsmanship of custom Roma wood mouldings, transforming your chosen image into an heirloom-worthy work of art.
