U.S.S. North Rim - a photo on Flickriver

U.S.S. North Rim

My luck on this trip had been classified as poor as far as photography goes , but my campground luck was still with me. I had made no prior reservations to camp here as this campground(North Rim)is always booked a year in advance. When I arrived I went straight to campground registration. The ranger said that the only site available was a triple Group site at 60 bucks a night. After some time I finally convinced him to split the site up so that 2 other people that showed up would also have a place to stay. He agreed and I spent the night there in the campground. After 5 days of intense cloud coverage I was convinced that I would get shut out again But, Despite the cloud cover I again arrived on location hoping for a break in the clouds. After setting up at the rim and firing up every light source I had with me, it still wasn't enough to light the far side of the canyon, so I decided to include the railing on the observation deck into my comp so that I would have at least something in the foreground. I even considered a selfie up on the rail like dicaprio on the deck of the titanic, but after looking over the edge at the 1000 ft drop I decided against it. So while I was sitting on the steps waiting, I dozed off for a couple of minutes and woke to find the clouds had dissipated and the Milky Way lined right up with the observation deck here at Bright Angel Point. This is the first night of the past five that I had even seen a star. So I'm considering this to be a total luck shot. :) I think that the light from the distant city makes it look like the Milky Way is being projected from there.
