On Edge
Once again perfecting my skills at near death experiences LOL
Different view of Horseshoe Bend :)
Bend in the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Lake Powell and Glen Canyon in Arizona, USA.
Spent sunset in this glorious spot along with millions of sand flies & mozzies LOL
Shot laying on tummy hanging over the edge with wide angle :)

I’ve been there and decided i couldn’t get close enough to the edge. No fence, no nothing but straight down. I hope you tied your ankle to a big rock. So someone could pull you back. I often wonder how many people have gone over the edge. Excellent shot, by the way.

LOL well the no fear in me is beneficial at times, thankfully the cliff was stable !! Thanks so much for your comment :-))
