Artist's Comments

Upper Antelope Canyon, outside of Page, AZ

This is one of the few slot canyons that survived being flooded by Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam, and is probably the most famous slot canyon in the world.
Upper Antelope can only be reached on a guided Navajo tour, due to a flash flood that took the lives of 12 tourists in 1997. It is narrow at the top and widens as it descends. This allows the little bit of sun that gets in to bounce around all the curves and lines in the walls. It is this reflected light that makes the canyon come alive with glowing reds and oranges, and also allows sunbeams to come in, Antelope Canyon's most famous feature.

The "Essence of Light" series, featuring the marvelous sunbeams of Page, AZ's Antelope Canyon

I feel that this is my best shot from my day in Antelope Canyon. Please take time to comment, or merely drink it in. I am very proud of it, and I hope you like it as well.

I'm working on a time to come visit... I might possibly come down sometime in August, although that is still tentative. You know I stopped a while ago dude, and you definitely just told me that you stopped too. Now my dad thinks you still smoke cuz he checks this alot.

I am planning on seeing how big of a print I can make of this. No need for a long meaningful comment, the knowledge that you enjoyed the shot is enough for me :hug:
