Antelope Canyon Color

Just outside of Page Arizona you will find Antelope Canyon a series of slot canyons renowned for their beauty and wonder. While they are all somewhat different, they have much in common. They have been shaped over millions of years by water and wind. The water and wind has eroded the soft sandstone to create these wonders known throughout the world.

I came to this location close to noon, when the sun way high in the sky. In this area there was a very small gap to allow the sunlight to filter down through the canyon walls. In the middle of my frame the stone changes color to a dark purple and you can see how the water has weathered this area differently creating almost a slide. The entire scene has a sense of depth, color, and detail.
