Mother Nature
Sandstone slot canyons, slowly sculpted by wind & water, become both sinuous and serrated, teasing the eye to find familiar forms.
(I couldn't resist the alliteration!)

  Thanks, Terry! For being in there 2 hours, I don't feel like I came home with "a lot" of slot images... I'll be reviewing them over the days ahead...

  Thanks so much, Nikki! I'm with you - this is such an iconic part of this canyon (and the canyon itself is such an iconic photo destination) - yet I was delighted with this result, myself! I cannot over-recommend this canyon to anyone who visits the area - it was a delight, photographically, as well as simply to witness it first hand.

  Perfect capture. Really well lit in the best part of Lower Antelope Canyon. Have you seen the work of Peter Lik in Lower Antelope? He's got nothing on you. Well done!

  Thank you very much, Howard; I'm not familiar with Peter Lik - I'll have to look him up! Lower Antelope was probably the highlight of my 9-day trip out west... just a beautiful, astonishing, wondrous space to walk through.
