Park officials received a report of someone over the edge near Mather Point on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park at about 5:40 a.m. Friday. Responding rangers spotted a body between 400 and 600 feet below the rim, and witnesses told them that they saw the man run up to and over the edge.

Nice shot; amazing you got so close! I did field research on ravens a few years ago; they never cease to amaze me. Wonderful to work with.

We would like to use your photo on hisdarkmaterials.org animal personality test. Could we?
myrali – have have my permission. I would be honored. Thank you. I have similar Raven photos you might appreciate. Do a search for Raven Hopi and several should show. You have my permission to use any one of them that best suits your test. My old psych prof at Stanford – Philip Zimbardo – would laugh that I can’t escape psych tests. 🙂
Nice shot. Beautiful contrast. I can hear them now, echoing through the canyon…
cool shot.
Excellent – well done!

fantastic.
I saw this in the 25+ Faves group and Faved it.
Dramatically composed. The ratcheted composition and color saturation really make this pop!
I loved this picture especially, however, and more to the point, I must thank you for a wonderful hour of "wandering" around the Grand Canyon, being led by your great photos and very special commentary. Thanks!
The Raven goes perfectly with that scenic shot
Cool!
Here is my black raven: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuf1/3075761760/
well taken – the biggest, baddest ravens I’ve ever seen have been in the Grand Canyon area.
nice one. imagine the fun that raven has soaring and tumbling in the canyon thermals! if i had to switch places with any animal, i think it would be with a raven. of course, few ravens would want to change places with me!
lovely photo. I love Ravens. In the N.W. coastal indigenous communities, Raven is not only trickster, but the one who brings light to people, and a messenger between the physical and spiritual worlds.
What can I say, I love these amazing creatures.. well, my name is Raven Sky… I use to take care of an injured one…. and I also host a raven group at care2.. this is a totally awesome photo..love it,,,love it… love it
@Raven Sky – thank you. I see you know the Inuit mythology. I hope you liked my information about the Hopi and Navajo legends.
Great photo. I didn’t get anywhere near as close.
Wonderful Grand Canyon Scene
