The heart of Antelope Canyon by Linda Sparks

The heart of Antelope Canyon by

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.

A great valentine from the rock bottom of your heart!

About Linda Sparks

After being widowed, I needed to find something new to occupy my mind. I chose photography. That turned into an obsession, compounded by my love of the artistic license provided by Photoshop and the many other artful programs that help us explore all the facets of turning a photo into art.
