After work one quite evening, I trotted up to the South Rim of the Canyon to watch sunset. What a treat awaited me, as untracked snow from a previous storm blanketed much of the area. I was able to capture quite a few beautiful images, but none with the 'depth' of this one. I see this image as a story which is visually broken into two parts: the warm canyon to the left; the ominous storm to the upper right. The barren tree is the partition which separates these distinct 'stories'...brought into perspective by a fresh foreground.
