Sacred Land by Varinia - Globalphotos
Upper Antelope Canyon – USA 2008
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet in elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the stream bed.
Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. Wind has also played a role in sculpting this fantastic canyon.

This is truly majestic in both its colours and tapestry of light. The differing brightness of the light interweaves with the shadows in fabulous style and the curves of the erosion are really brought out to the fore.
Love your expressive comments Stuart, thanks so much :))
