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: / / /

This was just a lucky catch. My wife got some tulips for her birthday and I took one out as the sun was setting to try a get a nice shot. I put the vase down & as soon as I turned my back I heard the hummer behind me, I turned back around and had time to get off one shot before he realized he wasn’t interested in tulips.

A young brave is watching in the shadows of the trees. All executed from scratch. In Photoshop Elements I choose a blank “canvas” then I select a brush and start drawing/painting. Again, I take a huge dose of “patience.” :) /

Got out to see the Grand Canyon for the first time in my life. I could not believe how queezy it made my stomach to get close to the edge. There are no railings to protect you from falling off the edge. Needless to say, I was very careful. And…YES THOSE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE ON THAT POINT…scary. The startling thing about the visitor’s first view of the canyon is how suddenly it appears. Driving across the flat Coconino Plateau south of the rim provides little preparation for the first view of the massive gash in the earth which is like nothing any first time visitor has ever seen before, anywhere. This is Mather Point. It lies at 7120 feet above sea level. The view northeast from Mather Point (shown below) looks out across O’Neill Butte on the south side of the river across to Zoroaster Temple on the other side. The north rim is about 10 miles across the canyon from this point. The depth of the canyon provides a progressive range of climates which supports different kinds of life. The temperature on the floor of the canyon may reach 120 degrees in the summer. Four of the North American continent’s “life zones” are represented within the park. Stretching 277 miles across northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon ranges in elevation from 2,400 feet to over 7,000 feet above sea level. In places, it is up to one mile deep and over 18 miles wide, while some of the canyon’s majestic plateaus to the north rise to 9,000 feet above sea level. The scenery is spectacular, and is a must see for anybody. Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain. All images and writings are the copyright of the artist – © amari, amarica. All Rights Reserved.

A fantastic display of color in Zion, Utah. Prior to this shot wind gusts on this butte were easily over 60mph. Toughing it out I feel was well worth it. Please enjoy! /
