Havasu falls
by Bjorn Billing
The colorful rock of Grand Canyon, Arizona, and the turquoise water that runs through Supai, homeland of the Havasupai tribe. There are several waterfalls here – like jewels in a red shrine, glowing in the evening light.
It was quite windy that night in August. Pre-monsoon weather. Thunder echoed between the rock walls and there were occasional rain showers. I knew this moment wouldn't last for long, and the twenty seconds of exposure felt like an eternity. A few minutes later the last rays of sun were gone.
Equipment: Canon EOS 5D mk II, 16-25/2,8

It’s unfortunate that the 20 second exposure that smoothed the falling water also gave the clouds a distracting motion blur.
Ginger Sanders

Another incredible Earth Shots photo–I spent years working as a guide in the Grand Canyon and the light in this photograph perfectly captures the mood of the canyon and its intense summer storms.
