Not a place that you'd like to walk around at without a flashlight. Still the moon did a nice job of providing the light.

EDIT: Toned it down a bit

Seems to be a bit too saturated or sharpened. If you could scale back whatever is making the image just a bit 'too much'...it'd be a decent shot!

Cool shot. You're brave walking around there at night! I've always wanted to try a night shot up there.

It was interesting, considering I hate heights! But there was enough moon light to see where we were going. Turned out better than we expected.

As long as you aren't worried about Navajo Skinwalkers at night, I guess it's OK?! ;)

Nice, now that's ballsy! It's scary enough during the day, but at night....whoa!

Interesting that the water is so black and the sky so blue...

I was surprised at that too. The moon was behind us and I guess without clouds (a good thing) it didn't reflect back to the camera.

I love seeing pictures of this, probably because I've never seen it in person.
