The heart of Antelope Canyon

The heart of Antelope Canyon

Upper Antelope Canyon is a very narrow slot canyon created in Navajo sandstone in northern Arizona where it is designated a Navajo Tribal Park. It is periodically swept by powerful flood water that scour the walls and remove the sandy floor. Then more sand sweeps in with the wind. It’s famous among photographers.

This is one of the many shots I took during my much too brief tour of the canyon. It was definitely on my bucket list.

    Woo hoo!! Congratutions. There are some amazingly beautiful places in AZ. My son just moved there in August to work in the hospital in Chinle on the Navajo reservation. He is loving it.
    I plan to go visit him in the Spring and cannot wait to see and photograph the natural beauty there.
    Well done…

    You got it spot on – He had mentioned this place a bunch since he has been there so it is on my list. . . thank you so much. He finished his residency in Atlanta so this is quite a huge change for him but I think it’s perfect. . . he is fitting right in. Thank you Linda ;o)

  • Linda Sparks replied 6 days ago

    Good luck to him. The res needs caring people in the health professions. The rewards are huge, just not monetary.
