Hi Bernie, The China trips sounds like a great opportunity and adventure for your son. Best of luck to him. Thanks for sharing your pics from the night hike. I particularly like the shot of Ryan sitting; under the full Moon lighting, it has an ethereal quality to it. I also like the shots showing Sumner, Zoroaster and the northern half of the canyon. How hot was it on your night hike? Today, the forecast high is for 97 at the South Rim and 120 at Phantom Ranch. Yikes!

The Venus-Saturn conjunction was on display so I shot a few landscapes using my Canon 20D digital SLR. Also took a few shots with familiar constellations displayed above the moonlit canyon walls.
