The Black Canyon of the Gunnison was made a national park in 1999 after being a national monument since1933. The Gunnison river carved out this canyon leaving cliffs up to 2,772 feet high. The igneous rock is generally dark and the canyon is very narrow, thus the name "Black Canyon". There are veins of intrusive rock throughout the walls of the park, making interesting patterns in the steep walls.

I have been wandering around with my camera for over 30 years. Everything interests me. Little tiny buds in the forest, vast panoramic landscapes, interesting old buildings, and silent snowy woods.

Indeed, as a life-long Michigander, in my portfolio you will find many images of our lovely Michigan shorelines, the Freighters that sail the Great Lakes, Michigan landmark locations such as Mackinac Island, Belle Isle, Greenfield Village, and more. I also had an image chosen in July of 2020 and again in 2021 to be included in the publication "Our Magnificent Planet" by Lenswork...
