Spirit Land

Upper Antelope Canyon

Is a spectacular petrified sand dune, created by wind, water and sand, presenting a sculptured masterpiece.
My Navajo Indian guide was lovely and explained many of the legends associated with this area.

Was so lucky at one point to have the canyon to myself, peaceful, serene and incredibly beautiful.

Wow, it certainly ia an amazing shot, is it a real colour or enhanced? Either way, beautiful!
Globalphotos in reply to Andromedae’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks, this is the actual colour. Antelope canyon has various shades of orange, yellow, red, purple and brown. Will post another shot later showing all the various combinations and formations :)
Tom Vaughan, 2 months ago

Wow, V! This is truly spectacular… not easy to get a unique image from there, but you clearly did! I really like the darker tones, with just enough detail.
Globalphotos in reply to Tom Vaughan’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks so much Tom I wanted to shoot something different. This canyon is certainly very well photographed. A more traditional shot will follow at some point no doubt lol
Andromedae, 2 months ago

I know it can be, but it is still amazing!.. I remember going on 4-wheel drive safari on Rainbow beach going from Fraser Island in Noosa, and the colours of the sand were amazing, soooo colourful! Need to go there again to take photos!

Great work! Can’t wait to see more!

Charlotte Ottilo, 2 months ago

When I was here I didn’t have a clue as to what settings I should use.. This is one fantastic capture! You must be so proud!
Globalphotos in reply to Charlotte Ottilo’s comment, 2 months ago

I shoot from the hip basically, in a place like that you really don’t have much time to plan do you?. Apparently there are photographic tours you can go on but I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of others with tripods LOL…...... I was so lucky to get the canyon to myself for a fair while then managed to have a play !! I am rather proud of this one, it’s hard to shoot something original from such a popular spot. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments Charlotte really appreciate them xx
Charlotte Ottilo, 2 months ago

Yes Var, I do know what you mean about the timing and planning. And Yes I also heard about the photographic tour but decided against it, maybe for the same reason’s..lol it was so long ago I don’t remember. And Kudos to you for getting such a time to yourself, the Navajo’s are such lovely people are they not! You should be proud of this one..I haven’t seen one like this..so yes, take it and run baby!..LOL
