Angels Window is an easily accessible natural arch at Cape Royal on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Cape Royal is the southernmost viewpoint on the North Rim. It has the widest scenic view of any overlook with the gorge extending to about 270 degrees
We had driven out to Cape Royal for mainly on a sight seeing and photo location scouting trip on this particular day. Despite the fact a wild fire was burning some 30 miles to the northwest and another fire was burning in southern Arizona, this was one of the clearest days I have ever experienced at the North Rim. The wind from the Southwest had been blowing smoke out of the canyon for the past couple of days.
Zooming into the small high resolution view above the window, visible on the far rim, is the Indian Watchtower at Desert View, a 70-foot (21 m)-high stone building located on the South Rim some 8.5 miles (according to Goggle Earth) from the location this image was shot.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
