The photo was taken on a Saturday in January 2005 while driving back to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon from Flagstaff, Arizona over route 180, probably about 20 miles from Flagstaff at about 8,000 feet above sea level.
You can see the San Francisco Peaks in the background. If anyone thinks that the great state of Arizona is all desert, rocks, and cactus, they need to take a look at this picture. Northern Arizona is one absolute paradise on Earth.
It was late afternoon that day, and I remember as I passed this particular scene stopping my little red Toyota and turning around to go back so I could capture it with the Kodak DC 265 Zoom camera I always carry with me for moments like that.
I worked full time at the South Rim for 1 - 1/2 years and I was lucky to get many photos of the canyon during all seasons of the year and shots like this as I traveled around northern Arizona in my spare time during that wonderful period of my life.
