We spent 3 magical days backpacking at Havasu Falls, one of the most beautiful place on our planet.
Hiking down Havasu Creek.
MUST VIEW LARGER Hualapai Indian Grand Canyon.
A few miles passed Tortilla Flats, which is outside of Apache Junction, Arizona, this wonderful little oasis pops into view, part of Salt River. Although it is nearly Christmas, the vibrant yellow foliage remains. / Shot with Olympus Stylus 720SW auto, handheld.
Nikon D80 / F9, 1/15, ISO100 The hike to Supai Village (Grand Canyon, AZ, USA) was 8 miles in the rain. Arriving after dusk, at this, Havasu Falls, the water was flowing chocolate. We were treated to many colors, with this being the picture 60 hours later. The above photo piece can be seen in context in an AV presentation you can download here: / Havasupai After viewing the audio-visual, you are welcome to come back here to buy the above photo to hang on your wall.

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. Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hasdeztwazi, or “spiral rock arches” by the Navajo, is located a few kilometers away from the upper Antelope Canyon and is a more difficult hike.

In the Grand Canyon.
In the Grand Canyon near the Havasupai Reservation you can find this waterfall.
This was the going down of the sun, Cactus Canyon Rd (back in May). / Sunsets speak for themselves, rather.

Yosemite Valley, California, taken in Northern California. / Canon Powershot SD200 Not just a great Valley… / but a shrine to human foresight, strength of granite, power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra. / Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more. / / / /
First morning at Havasu Falls. This was one of our most memorable backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon, USA.
Lake Falls in Matthiessen State Park is possibly the most magical, spiritual waterfall I have ever photographed. It is special and always blesses me with a wonderful spiritual feel to it. It inspires me to be religous in some way that I cannot explain. / The whirlpool is like God. He has no beginning and no end.
This is an image of the Colorado River as it courses its way through the Grand Canyon. The Different lighting that illuminates through out the Canyon and its walls causes a palette of hues always changing and shifting, turning shadows into Gold. This sublime sleight of hand magic truly makes Nature the true Alchemist.
I was here today on the Logan River, in the canyon not far from home. I loved the ‘just now turning’ leaves and magnificent reflections in the clear water… Little Boat and the butterfly wanted to go with me so I shot some pics of them as well… heehee..
Yet another infrared image from my trip up the canyon the other day to Spring Hollow recreation area and Second Dam. This is similar to a couple of my other ones, but I included the fence and a bit more detail in this one and thought it would be fun to post here ;-) I began with the infrared base image, duplicated it then multiplied it in the Layer’s Palette of Photoshop. Then I sepia toned it by using Hue/Saturation command, then placed a sun flare and my little boat into the picture as separate elements, and ‘voila’ another digital art piece.. ;-)

Spring snowmelt in the White Mountains of Arizona fill the Little Colorado River on a south to north path to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. In the high desert of Northern Arizona the river plunges into the Little Colorado River Gorge with sheer sandstone cliffs over a 1000ft high in places along the route. Grand Falls is a spectacular sight in full runoff times though full of sandy silt giving it a brown color. The silt is so saturated in the water that the spray from the falls will coalesce into mud on your skin and clothes as it dries. The falls total drop from top to bottom is actually higher than Niagra Falls on the Canadian/US Border.
Photographing Spearfish Canyon has long been recognized as a significant challenge by many photographers with greater experience (and more publications!) than I have. The canyon runs to the north and south, making the prime times to shoot (early morning and evening) almost impossible as the canyon floor is covered in shadow. However, just walking through and taking in this legendary landscape offers even the aspiring amateur some stunning opportunities. This scene was nearly missed by me as I walked the trail back to my car from Roughlock Falls. Walking about 20 feet off the trail in waist deep snow, I came to stand at a pool of water created by a natural dam of logs and rocks and was delighted to see the most glorious reflection of the canyon walls glowing gold and green in the black mirror surface of water.
