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: / / /

Gallery 1 / Gallery 2 / Gallery 3 / Gallery 4 / Gallery 5 / Gallery 6 Again I was so lucky to be there at that giving moment, I always wanted to take this kind of photo , I see this one as one of my best , the funny thing is I did not want to go out that day to take photos , I must say thank you to my best friend who took me out for a drive in the desert. see full screen for best viewing. The image won 41 awards , and the hall of fame on eyefetch.com for better viewing See it in ” View larger” / —-—-—-—-—-—- / Lianne / wrote an amazing poem about the desert that I love alot … / please visit her page for more amazing work of hers. / -—-—-—-—-—-— Desert Wanderings Are the rare oases enough to / sustain the desert nomad? / And where is the desert boundary – / would the journeyman perceive / its end, or like me, see Canaan / and think it only temporary respite – / can he see beauty where I see none, / sculpture where I see sand – / has he more praise for palm trees / than I for all of Canaan’s promise? Deserts are but dry expanses of the mind / the hypochondria boredom breeds, / unirrigated months, parched and barren / where there is naught to slake one’s thirst / and coolness only stones beneath one’s tongue, / monotonous thoughtscapes, uninspired / wishing for rivers, never neared mirages / and longings so undefined / that even prayer is sterile. What happens to dreams that die? / Are they reborn in other minds / nourished in more fertile ground – / do the sands that cover them / windshift / reviving them again, or are they / preserved, like dried straw flowers, / still rich in color / but sapless, too fragile now to grow? / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- {{{{{{{{{{{ ART PRINTS & CARDS }}}}}}}}}}}

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.

The Slot Canyons of Colorado Plateau never cease to amaze me with their beauty and color. Wandering through this slot for the third time I always seem to find different view. New colors or textures reveal themselves as the day progresses almost as if the light is bottled and then judiciously poured forth for our enjoyment. The brilliant lines and colors of the sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon as mid day light pours in from above.

This is the 3rd shot from today’s series of photos from the local grave yard.. I had heard recently that grave yards make a great subject for IR photography, and I personally think I have to agree as I believe that this is my best IR shot so far.. / The cross that you can see behind the headstone in the middle of the shot is the cross that I used as the subject for my So Dark The Con Of Man shot.. / Anyway let me know what you all think and i hope you like it all as much as i do.. Thanks for looking! Uploaded 31/01/2008

WIld horse in Utah. This is the one and only wild horse that I named. I named him Marv after a Native American friend of mine. The similarities between the horse and my friend were amazing. The long flowing black hair and the pride they both portray is inspiring. I haven’t seen Marv for a long time, I don’t know what happend to him. I look for him everytime I go out and he is nowhere to be found. So here is to Marv! /
