year-long photographic experiment shooting clouds everyday
Recently, my wife and I were in Las Vegas. We decided, after much debate to book a helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon for our own enjoyment and to hopefully get a cloud shot for the day. Those of you who follow the project know that I did – http://www.clouds365.com/6-12-10 – What a day and experience that was. Perfect weather, perfect clouds and SO happy that I “got the shot”, probably the best one of the entire year!
After going through the hundreds of photographs, I decided to post 8 additional images I liked the best starting and ending in Las Vegas. I hope you enjoy these. I loved capturing them!

My favourite is the one you actually posted, but I also adore the one with the rainbow !!
These Pictures are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
Such beauty!
beautiful Kelly. We all appreciate your lead in the cloud panorama’s. It’s such an inspiration to see such wonderful cloud & landscapes.
gotta love those clouds!
Very nice Kelly, having grown up in Vegas, & traveled to the Grand Canyon many times, these are very representative of the area…..great job……
Wow, thanks for the comments!
Karen – the Rainbow was cool! it did not stick around long.
Ellen – Thanks again, you always have the nicest comments
Kendra – Thank you! that is nice coming from a local (former?)
Your pictures never cease to amaze and inspire me! How exciting for you to get so up close and personal with this “wonder!”
WOW makes me homesick (almost!)for Az. Beautiful shots, love the rainbow!
I have been following the photos. I am delighted. Very beautiful yourself!
These are remarkable, as was the one you first posted on FB. I’ve backpacked and hiked all around the Canyon, and it’s always a treat to see photos of it, and especially these unique aerial photos. Were you on a prop or helicopter for this trip?
The 4th one of Lake Mead is probably my favorite of the group, but the rainbow/virga shot is a close second…
Jill – Thank you for that… that was definitely a “life experience”!
Michelle, Hilda – Thanks for your comments, very nice!
Sonya – We were on a helicopter. Amazing ride and view. Glad you enjoyed the images, I had a hard time choosing!
If I ever have an opportunity for a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon, after seeing your photos, I’m going! Absolutely magnificant!!
Hi Kelly,
These are all magnificent cloud pictures. Nature is fantastic in that area.
My favorite ones are number 6 and 8.
Thanks Daniel. I really wanted to stay. There are so many places in the Southwest part of the US that I want to photograph.. so little time
You have a beautiful talent for catching beauty in something most people consider dreary or morbid. I enjoyed viewing your photos and would love 2 see more.
