Antelope Canyon:
Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. The canyon includes two separate scenic slot sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon, and Lower Antelope Canyon. This image represents part of the lower canyon. Few geological formations are as picturesque and awe-inspiring as the canyon, with tall winding walls, it's a monumental sandstone sculpture. A photographer's dream, the canyon is known for its wave-like structure and the light beams that shine directly down into the openings of the ravine, creating a ghostly appearance. The canyon is the product of millions of years of water erosion. The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is 'Tse' bighanilini,' which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Once home to herds of pronghorn antelope, the canyon now lies within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation and draws nature-lovers near and far for its remarkable, mysterious beauty. The canyon walls climb 120 feet above the streambed, making it a cathedral of red and purple swirling sandstone.
