Since last night was the full moon, I decided to try and use moonlight to photograph the canyon. An added bonus was the over flight of the International Space Station.
Update: There’s a second faint light streak to the right of the ISS. I didn’t know what it was until I read this:

WHAT’S FOLLOWING THE ISS? Sky watchers are reporting a “mysterious satellite” following the International Space Station (ISS). It trails the ISS by about one minute, relatively faint, but definitely there. Mystery solved: The follower is Progress 33, a Russian supply ship. On July 12th, it will come within meters of the space station to test a new automated docking system. Check the Simple Satellite Tracker for flyby times and get two spaceships for the price of one: http://spaceweather.com/flybys
