Canon 20D – 17-40mm L – 17mm – 1s – f/11 Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon formed over the course of millions of years by erosion of the Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to wind erosion. Rainwater (especially during monsoon season) runs into the wash that Antelope Canyon is part of, picking up speed and sand as it rushes through the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors wider and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic ‘flowing’ shapes in the rock. Upper Antelope Canyon, called Tse bighanilini, “the place where water runs through rocks” by the Navajo, is the most frequently visited by tourists, due to two considerations. First, its entrance and entire length are at ground level, requiring no climbing. Second, beams (shafts of direct sunlight radiating down from openings in the top of the canyon) are much more common in Upper than in Lower. Beams occur most often in the summer months, as they require the sun to be high in the sky. / In the same series: / / /

Click Here 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.

As you travel further into the town of Chloride, you will see a wonderful old rusty crusty, falling to bits truck on your right, the photographers dream. It still has a load of hay on it and sports a picturesque delight for your camera. Stop and take a picture for your collection before you travel down the road into the heart of town. Look for more old vehicles, tractors and mining equipment during your visit. You will not be disappointed. Annual Car Show / On the second Saturday in October, some of the nation’s finest automobiles travel to Chloride for the Annual Car Show. Spectators line the streets to watch these magnificent machines slowly travel the streets of town. Trophies and other prizes are awarded to winners in several categories. Food vendors, jewelry vendors, antique vendors, and junk dealers add to the gala affair sponsored by Shep’s Miner’s Inn. Also included in the mix of festivities is a mock gunfight scheduled at high noon. Desert USA Many movies and commercials have been filmed in and around Chloride through the years. Entertainment can be found 5 nights a week including 2 gunfight reenactment troupes. More about this later. This is the third of a series about the mining town of Chloride, Arizona.

Wotan’s Throne looms over Trail Camp on the Main Mount Whitney Trail. I took this shot on our first trip to the Grand Canyon. This formation really amazed me when I saw how much it looked like a temple or cathedral. If you have the time and stamina, Wotan’s Throne is a nice, short diversion on a Whitney trip or a good acclimatizing dayhike that puts you smack-dab in the middle of spectacular views of the surrounding area. The Colorado Plateau is an enormous landform that covers most of northern Arizona and much of Utah, a chunk of northwestern New Mexico, and most of far-western Colorado. More specifically, the Plateau is an enormous uplifted tableland. To the north and west it’s bordered by the region called the Basin and Range; to the northeast it runs up against the Rocky Mountains; the south side borders the Mogollon Highlands; and to the east and southeast it adjoins the Rio Grande Rift. Geology of the Grand Canyon A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep.

Mooney Falls is a waterfall on Havasu Creek, in the northwest corner of the U.S. state of Arizona, near the town of Supai in the Havasupai Indian Reservation. It is named after prospector D. W. “James” Mooney who fell to his death trying to cross the canyon on a homemade ladder. Local Native Americans called it “Hualapai” or “Hualpai” falls. It is located about 1 kilometre downstream (i.e. to the north) of Havasu Falls, just past the large campground that lies between the two falls. Mooney Falls is accessible with considerable difficulty down a very steep trail (including two rock tunnels) that has been cut into the rock. Chains and a ladder at the bottom assist, but spray from the falls coats the dust-covered rock with water and reddish mud that makes climbing treacherous.

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. It is located slightly downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, about four miles or 6 km south of Page. Accessible via a 3⁄4-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above, forming a spectacular vista. / This image is actually made of 4 pictures taken with my Canon 20D – 17-40mm L lens and stitched together to create this panoramic

Well, we finally got moved to Arizona. Still have a lot of unpacking to do. Got a chance to go out to Oatman, an old west town just outside of Bullhead City. Got a chance to take a few pictures. This one is of an old car outside an antique shop on Boundary Cone Road just before you get into Oatman. Oatman is known for it’s burro population that roams freely on the streets and into the local shops. It is a popular tourist site. I processed the image in hdr.

As you travel down the main road entering the little town of Chloride, after you pass a fantastic old hay truck on your right, you will come to the Chloride General Store which will be located on your left. In front of a former service station, vintage gas pumps wait for customers who will never return. The town was named for the chloride silver ore that was discovered nearby in 1863. Chloride has been served by both stage coaches and trains during its colorful history. By the start of the 20th century there were over 2000 residents, but when World War II closed the mines, the people moved on. Several vintage buildings remain; the general store dates from 1928. As with many mining towns, the buildings were built of wood and many original buildings were lost to fires. However, there are still a few of the originals around; the old bank vault, the 2 room jail, the old Santa Fe Railroad Station, and the post office is today located in what was once the old pool hall. That same post office (though it has changed locations) is said to be the oldest continually functioning post office in Arizona. Chloride sits at an elevation of 4,009 ft above sea level; high desert flora & fauna! Chloride lies under the Cerbat Mountains and is one of oldest mining communities in Arizona. Situated between Kingman, AZ and Boulder City, NV, just a few miles off the major “NAFTA” highway US 93, main corridor from Mexico to Canada. Turn east at mile post marker 53, onto Mohave County Rte 125. A few miles off the main highway and many miles back in time. It is a small village of 250 people with 1 motel, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, 1 convenience store and several gift shops. More about them later. This is the fourth of a series about the mining town of Chloride, Arizona. first in this series Welcome to Chloride Second in this series Chloride Welcome Mural Third in this series Chloride Truck Fifth in this series Chloride Bank HDR enhanced.
