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: / / /

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. Was so lucky at one point to have the canyon to myself, peaceful, serene and incredibly 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.

Upper Antelope Canyon – USA Tour 2008 The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet in elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the stream bed. Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. Wind has also played a role in sculpting this fantastic canyon.

Digital Art: Arizona State, U.S.A. A Navajo native American woman rider stands on a high desert plateau admiring the evening sunset. / Note: All my digital art work is executed entirely with my mouse and Photoshop Elements’ brushes. It takes hours of concentration, patience and self control. Especially when the mouse wants to go right and you need it to go left! When this happens , I reluctantly leave my office and go for a stroll in my garden. / That usually takes care of the problem and then, I get back to work :)

A particularly pretty portion of Navajo Falls. This view no longer looks quite as good as this as these types of waterfalls grow and what is beautiful about them changes from year to year.

This sacred Navajo Nation Tribal Park (Antelope Canyon) is near Page, Arizona. For several months during the summer the sun shines directly overhead for a few hours each day. Catching the light rays is the goal of many photographers. This canyon ranks second only to the Grand Canyon in Arizona for photographs. To see the entrance to this canyon, view my adjoining photograph at / http://www.redbubble.com/people/farol/art/1285020-1-antelope-canyon-outside For more information, go to: / http://www.navajonationparks.org/htm/antelopecanyon.htm

Another view inside this sacred canyon. The red colors are from the red sandstone which, when touched, just turns to fine sand. For these shots I set my camera on the ground and took multiple exposures; then used Photomatix for the HDR image. This sacred Navajo Nation Tribal Park (Antelope Canyon) is near Page, Arizona.

This unique rock formation of Navajo sandstone is called “The Wave”. It is located on the Arizona and Utah border. Many sand dunes are still in the area and these formation were probably formed from sand dunes millions of years ago. It is a difficult hike to this area but well worth it.

The Diné (Navajo) word for Bear is “Shush” (Shoo-sh). Bear is held in high regard by many nations of the Native Peoples of North America. Bear signifies power, mother, cunning, healer, gentle strength, dreaming, and introspection. In the Zuni tradition, the bear symbolizes the direction West. The Bear Paw symbolizes power, direction, connection to Creator. The sacred spiral indicates renewal and cycles of life.The long red heartline denotes long life and strength. Sacred turquoise circles surrounded by smaller white circles is the connection to Creator.

Hózhó Hózhó. an idea related to such concepts as “beauty,” “blessing,” “holy,” and “balanced.” But this middle ground is difficult to maintain and may vanish because of witchcraft or the violation of a taboo. My symbolism here represents a basic belief in traditional Diné (Navajo) culture. The opening at the top of the design represents East, the sacred direction from which Holy People come in response to a Singer’s chanted request for intercession. Such openings are protected by a variety of creatures or symbols such as Beaver (depicted here), Otter, Bat, Buffalo, Big Snake, Moon, and Sun. The angular, four-sided motif contains four mountain symbols, each with a symbolic color. These represent the four sacred mountains (although there are actually seven): / White Shell Mountain (Sierra Blanca Peak, Colorado): white-east-dawn; Turquoise Mountain (Mount Taylor, New Mexico): blue-south-day; Abalone Shell Mountain (Mount Humphreys, Arizona): yellow-west-twilight; Coal Mountain (Hesperus Peak, Colorado): black-north-darkness. Below this are Father Sky and Mother Earth, made into human form. Father Sky displays symbols of the sky – sun, moon, stars, and lightening. Mother Earth contains symbols of the earth – plants and other living things, in particular, Cornstalk. Finally, surrounding the outside is a Ye’ii Rainbow irit. This is protection against evil spirits. Ye’ii (pronounced “yay”) Spirit, is a depiction of a irit considered by the Navajo to be a go-between between man and the Creator. Ye’iis control natural forces in and on the earth, such as day and night, rain, wind, sun, etc. “Rainbow Man” controls the rainbow and gives beauty to those in harmony.

Upper Antelope Canyon is located near Page, Arizona. It is on the Navajo Reservation and only accessible via guided tour from the Navajo tribe. This place was simply fantastic. There even is a certain charm in this Black and White version.

In the Havasupai Canyon at Navajo Falls there was a flash flood that tore through the canyon. I forget the year, but soon after that we go down there and where the canyon walls meet the bottom weird sights such as this were to be had.

Established in 1931 as a National Monument, Canyon de Chelly is within the Navajo Nation in Chinle, Arizona. The White House Ruins are located on the South rim drive of the canyon. The upper ruin of the White House ruins is located in a cave and the lower ruin rose high on the cliff walls, making access to the upper ruin possible. Canyon de Chelly continues to sustain a living community of Navajo people and is unique among National Parks, as it is wholly comprised of Navajo Tribal Trust Land, home to the canyon community.
