The tower looks to be a snippet of the Grand Canyon with the layers of colors and shapes.  I was lucky that the sky was full of puffy clouds that further accentuated the tower shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dozens of angles from which to capture the Desert View Watchtower at Mojave Point in Grand Canyon National Park.  This is the close up, looking up, view of the tower.
