Beautiful Mike, all of them. But I find it interesting that upon checking the online metadata, that most of these were taken in September of 2008 with a Nikon D700. Here's the amazing thing, it has only 12.1 MP sensor, and the pics are probably as good as a newer 24 or 36 MP version. Don't want to start a big argument, but so much for the huge MP argument.

Thank you very much John, I thought it was the first week in October, it might have been as I stayed about a week. I had a D700 at that time and a 2DX, I gave the D700 my grandson and bought a D800, I am not much of a technical person, I really don't see any difference between all three, I still use the 2DX sometimes.

Thank you very much, it was taken in the first week in October. Waiting for the gate to open in the morning, there was a photography workshop crew all set up to get the sunrise over the mittens, long lenses pointing that way, this scene appeared behind them and by the time the turned the cameras on the tripod it was all gone, I used my car as a tripod so I was fast enough as it lasted only a few minutes.
Ah yes. The old adage. When everyone is pointed in one direction, turn around and look the other way. I did the same thing at the North Rim and got probably one of my 3 best images of all time.
