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: / / /

Antelope-Corkscrew Canyon, shows a powerful ray of light coming through the cavern top and illuminating the cave walls in brilliant orange-reddish colors. Antelope Canyon is so unique, it has also become known as The Corkscrew, Corkscrew Canyon, Upper Antelope, Wind Cave, or The Crack. This image was taken inside the cave with a 45 second time exposure to account for reciprocity failure. I use a Canon Elan with a 20mm lens and negative film. I still love the color depth in negative film vs. digital cameras :) Upper Corkscrew Canyon is located around the Navajo Reservations and usually requires a jeep to get you there. This location is just outside Page, Arizona.

Utah – USA tour 2008 Rich colours can be seen among the varied hoodoos, walls, and fins, the textures and formations were incredible. / I enjoyed the most amazing hike down to the bottom, the vista was so beautiful with remnants of snow contrasting against the vibrant colours. Bryce Canyon is not a “real” canyon. It is not carved by flowing water. Water is the active ingredient here, but in the form of “frost-wedging” and chemical weathering. For 200 days a year the temperature goes above and below freezing every day. During the day, melt water seeps into fractures only to freeze at night, expanding by 9%. Now as ice, it exerts a tremendous force (2,000-20,000 pounds per square inch). Over time this “frost-wedging” shatters and pries rock apart. In addition, rain water, which is naturally acidic, slowly dissolves the limestone, rounding off edges and washing away debris. Well worth a visit, stunningly beautiful :)) / WARNING / ©2008 Globalphotos All rights reserved. / All photographs, text and images by Globalphotos are the exclusive property of Globalphotos – protected under Australian and international copyright laws. / These images may not be reproduced, copied or manipulated without written permission. / No use for Public Domain. / Use of any image for another photographic concept or illustration is a violation of copyright.

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 includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew. The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdestwazi, or “spiral rock arches.” Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. source: wikipedia Taken with a Nikon D70s with a 18-200mm Sigma lens

As you make the drive towards Bryce Canyon National Park you will first come to Red Canyon if coming east on Scenic Byway 12. This area should not be missed when planning a photo trip. This tunnel leads into a small area known as Red Canyon and offers many hiking trails and scenic views. The Paunsaugunt Plateau is surrounded by orange and red sandstone and rocks and hoodoos are a real treat, like you would find at Bryce Canyon itself. Sunset Cliffs, Losee Canyon, and Casto Canyon are all places to hike around and find unique rock structures and breathtaking views. Plan to stop here for at least half a day.

To get to the base of Moony Falls in the Havasupai area you must descend through this tunnel. This is in the grand Canyon.

In late fall, ominous clouds close in over Red Canyon, Utah just before a thunderstorm. Red Canyon is only 10 miles west from Bryce Canyon National Park and is one of many fantastic locations along Scenic Byway 12. Red canyon is known for its many hiking trails and hoodoos. It is located in the Dixie National Forest and is not considered a national park. Other areas somewhat close by are Bryce Canyon, Escalante, the Grand Staircase, and Cedar Breaks. Most people simply stop and photograph the rock formations from the street and move on to Bryce, however Red Canyon has many trails that lead to really amazing views such as Losee Canyon Trail, Cassidy Trail, and the amazing Casto Canyon trail. Don’t miss this place!

Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. Contained within the park is Bryce Canyon. Despite its name, this is not actually a canyon, but rather a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to its geological structures, called hoodoos, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lakebed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views to visitors. source: wikipedia Taken with a Nikon D70s with a 18-200mm Sigma lens

On the trail to the Havasupai reservation one has to walk eight miles down a desert canyon. The walls sometimes hide demons and spirits…
