Layers of Evening

Grand Canyon ridges recede into golden haze as sunlight enters from the upper right. Craig dates this photograph to 1987, recalling the fading light across the canyon's promontories and valleys. Each successive layer appears softer than the one before it, letting atmosphere reveal distance. The nearest rock holds its dark outline while the farthest forms nearly dissolve. This landscape photograph gives the canyon a gentle rhythm, inviting the eye to follow the light as it moves deeper into the view.
