We are members of the Grand Canyon Association and at least twice a day my DW checks the GC Webcams, yesterday morning the picture was grey. No color no nothing just fog. I think the cam is by the ice cream parlor at the lodge. Had to be a strange sight to say the least.

I am certainly not a fan of pollution, and am aware of the large Navajo Generating Station near Page, AZ. In this case there had been a wildfire burning in the Kaibab National Forest for about a week prior to my Grand Canyon visit.

While camping at Wahweep, near Page, I took a photo of Lake Powell which certainly both beautiful and mysterious. However. the lake was formed by damming Glen Canyon which is certainly a type of environmental pollution. The dam does produce considerable electric hydro-generation which reduces air pollution, so I guess we pick our poison when it comes to electricity.

Gheicher,
Thanks for that picture, absolutely beautiful.

Took this picture from the South Rim. There was a forest fire on the North Rim and the smoke was spilling over the edge filling the canyon - Made for an unusual picture.

Cool pics. Wish I could have seen it first hand!

Are you sure the canyon is still there?

Nice pictures.
Thank you, always like to see pictures.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing. I was traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway one morning when we had a bright sunny sky above us but had clouds below us. Lasted for a couple hours.
