“Grand Canyon Confluence,” Greg Brown’s latest Fine Art Aerial Photo Metal Print!

Greg's photographs

Hey Friends, check out “Grand Canyon Confluence” of the Colorado & Little Colorado Rivers, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

The Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers converge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Their confluence is notable because the Little Colorado is muddier than the Colorado with different silt, so the water colors of the two rivers are strikingly different where they merge. And the sand bar at their confluence is a popular stop for rafters transiting the Canyon. Few people get to enjoy this aerial perspective of the feature, captured from my Flying Carpet.

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Grand Canyon Confluence,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

Many thanks to all who invest in my prints, books, and pilot achievement plaques!

Grand Canyon by “Flying Carpet”

flying adventures, Greg's photographs

Hey, Fellow Pilots: Can you believe we get to do this??!!

Relive ‘Grand Canyon by “Flying Carpet”’

“Miles and Miles of Sunflowers!” Greg’s latest Fine Art Aerial Photo Metal Print!

Greg's photographs, Well, I'll be!

Hey Friends, thanks to your enthusiastic reception, here’s “Miles and Miles of Sunflowers,” my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

I was returning my wife Jean and her tennis teammate Jenny from a tournament in El Paso. Five long hours round trip by Flying Carpet, and it was too hazy to see anything special… until 15 minutes from home.

There we encountered these vivid, horizon-to-horizon sunflowers sweeping from Lake Mary toward the San Francisco Peaks. Never have we seen anything like this before! This turns out to be Northern Arizona’s most amazing wildflower year in memory, and we’re thrilled to have captured even a tiny fragment of it from aloft.

Nowhere is the power of numbers more boldly reflected than in these fields of sunflowers captured from a speeding airplane thousands of feet in the air!

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Miles and Miles of Sunflowers,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $125, with super-affordable 2-day shipping throughout the Continental US.

“Ode to Night Currency,” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast, Flight #5

flying adventures, Greg's piloting tips, Greg's Podcasts

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the “Flying Carpet,” as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.

Listen to “Ode to Night Currency,” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #5

Even after decades of piloting, night landings remain tough, beautiful, a little scary, and immensely rewarding.

Just 30 minutes aloft displace all the preflight fears and apprehensions with just a single thought: CAN YOU BELIEVE WE GET TO DO THIS?!

Greg

Podcast music by Hannis Brown.

Inbound to Flagstaff at dusk for landing, in the Flying Carpet.
