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: / / /

This work was featured in Live, Love, Dream. The background (sky and water) is a photograph of clouds I took during summer 2007 just before sunrise. I never really figured out what to do with it. Inspired by the dreamy tune of Catch A Fall by 4 Strings. I had this song on repeat while I made this. Original Shot / Reworked Version /

Reflective, calm and peaceful. A walk through Adelaide on a balmy summer’s evening along the Torrens, looking at public art and feeling completely at home. To have a camera there to capture a small portion of that feeling and take it home is what it is all about. / Talking Our Way Home sculpture by Shaun Kirby

This shot was taken during the “lows” when no military aircraft were on the Navy-Dare Bombing range to complete their bombing runs. I love the way this shot turned out, especially the reflection and the lili’s shadow cast onto the lilipad just to the right. The water in these drainage culverts literally is this black, the private security firm called Blackwater, trains right near this range, hence their name I suppose.

The Black Swan Black on flat water past the jonquil lawns / Riding, the black swan draws / A private chaos warbling in its wake, / Assuming, like a fourth dimension, splendor / That calls the child with white ideas of swans / Nearer to that green lake / Where every paradox means wonder. Though the black swan’s arched neck is like / A question-mark on the lake, / The swan outlaws all possible questioning: / A thing in itself, like love, like submarine / Disaster, or the first sound when we wake; / And the swan-song it sings / Is the huge silence of the swan. Illusion: the black swan knows how to break / Through expectation, beak / Aimed now at its own breast, now at its image, / And move across our lives, if the lake is life, / And by the gentlest turning of its neck / Transform, in time, time’s damage; / To less than a black plume, time’s grief. Enchanter: the black swan has learned to enter / Sorrow’s lost secret center / Where like a maypole separate tragedies / Are wound about a tower of ribbons, and where / The central hollowness is that pure winter / That does not change but is / Always brilliant ice and air. Always the black swan moves on the lake; always / The blond child stands to gaze / As the tall emblem pivots and rides out / To the opposite side, always. The child upon / The bank, hands full of difficult marvels, stays / Forever to cry aloud / In anguish: I love the black swan.

Captured on an early morning at Denver’s historic Washington Park. Standing here taking in the scene, was just amazing, sheer serenity….so utterly quiet I didn’t even hear the Goose swimming by. Amazing that in such a large city, nature thrives, never knowing that this peace is surrounded by so many people. And for once, the world just seemed like such a better place….. —-—-—-—-—-—-— See more on my website jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

I’ve noticed that most fractal images are colour, so I made a point of creating a few in simple black and white. / This one suggests harmony to me, energies meeting and resonating to each other’s wavelength.

It’s paradoxical how we can find ourselves when we lose ourselves. When we got “lost” in the wonder of God’s creation, we find something deep and abiding within. Standing under this majestic old oak which has defied the force of gravity by remaining upright in spite of a badly eroded base, a person gets lost in the mystery and the beauty of the exposed tangle of roots but finds a sense of awe and wonder in the Creator who makes the seemingly impossible possible.
