Canyon Moon

Canyon Moon

Sunset down in the canyon. I'm told that this direction is a popular hike during a full moon. The rocks at the bottom of the canyon are so white that during the full moon, it is quite bright down here. It certainly is a beautiful walk at sunset, and I'm sure it would be really spectacular after dark also. There seemed to be heaps of wildlife in the wadi floor also - mostly rodents, by the look of the burrows. And what looked to be a fair number of scorpion burrows too. Might need to find a black light and shine for those guys one of these nights. Apparently there is quite a high diversity of them here.
