Hood Ornament

Thanks. Interestingly the Pontiac car was names for the town in which it was made, which was named for a Native American Indian Chief, I believe. The canyon is within the Navajo Nation in Arizona and manages by a Navajo family. It’s near Page, AZ, USA

Think it was supposed to be long hair blowing in the wind… But on a chrome ornament, hair and not hair is much the same. I did wonder about the car.

Thanks much.

Thank you so much Tania. Quick look at your portfolio, show much excellent work…

Thanks so much Mimi. I love your work and am proud to have you drop by…

Thanks John. You have some very impressive work posted…

Yes, could be… Amazing and the fact that it is carved by water, and not slow water, gives you something to ponder while down there.

Thank you Jennifer.

Does not take much wind to do that, and it’s nasty stuff, with quartz, so very tough on everything. But then at the right time of day it can make s sunbeam, beam…

Cool. I’m hoping to get back there before long. A bit closer for me than you. Also would love to swap seasons for a bit, sometime. Maybe I’ll get lucky…

Thanks you so much Tracey. With all your lovely forested scenes and constructions, it’s nice to see. Wonder how Woodie and his heart would do here…? He’s got grit…

Thank you Wendy. Different. Yes that’s me…

Thank you Jayme. You have a good variety of work posted, and seem to be a good learner. I also enjoy the HDR works.

Thanks Jesssicarose.

Thank you Michelle

More like in Mars. Some really tight spaces there. Yes unreal in the way the bounced light changes quality with each bounce. An incredible place, and I had pity for the regular tourist with the always flash cameras. Not to beautiful that way.

Thank you so much. I like your profile picture. Fits well with your works.

Thanks. Lovely kaleidoscope images you’ve got…

Wow, this is a cool comment. Thanks so much. The first trip so no preconceptions or expectations. You just don’t get that chance often.

Thank you. Glad you dropped by.

Thanks Ray.

Unique it is. Thanks. You have lots of beautiful scenic works. Like your Upper Antelope images.. Maybe we need to trade spots next time…

Thank you charitygrace.

Thank you Wayne

Wow, so similar. You have a good eye, Malena.
Thanks.

That’s pretty much as I remember them. The light is modified with each bounce into the slot by the colors of the sandstone. Some from sunlight, some from the blue sky light. The shadows take on a bit of blue when the skylight has the more direct path. Most complex colors and wide dynamic range. Tripod is needed. We want to go back for multi-exposure High Dynamic Range captures to see how that might work. We could than catch the very bright yellows higher on the walls.

No that was a point and shoot, jpg image, so that’s were I am amazed. We just had to be very careful of the hot yellows, so some shots are trash, some ok, some very cool.

Thank you, Danielle

Thanks Michal

Thanks, Glenn.

Thanks also for the fav and watch.

Yes, Vonne. So much to see in the area, it would take several trips I think. Thanks for that fav too…

Thanks Everett. It is in Lower Antelope Canyon, just east of Page, AZ, USA. Within the Navajo Nation, and managed by a Navajo family. Upper Antelope just across the road is the same, but a different family.
It is a slot canyon obviously, and is being carved by massive amounts of water. An ideal spot for natural selection. Be aware of the weather on the mountains far away..

Yes that’s what I like about where I live that a lifetime cannot cover it all. But what I don’t like is being so far from so many other natural wonders. Where to be? It depends. I think weeks in Tulsa area would not cover it either, then seasons…

Sounds like patterns and textures…
I think it’s really hard to take pictures where you aren’t.
So much better to shoot where you are… But in front and behind.

Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Larry

Thank you Barbara

Thank you, Simone.

Thank you, Gorandos.

Thanks Tracy

Thanks a lot Matt. Nice to have you visit. You are one of a very few poets that I have been reading, and you are good. Would love to make it over to a reading someday. That would be a treat.

Thank you so much susi.

Thank you very much Inger-Lise.
