I captured this view a few years back. I travelled from the east to west in February, so I was used to the colder temperatures that the GC offered during that month.This photo was taken from the South Rim during a light snow shower. Camera was hand held.
Minnie,I don’t see a darn thing wrong with your sunrise. I like it. You are probably being too hard on your state. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
