More Slot Canyon Pics

**Riverkilt** · 12th June 11, 04:46 PM

Finally got around to digging into my pics from last weekend. The weird light in a slot canyon does crazy things to digital sensors so I just take a LOT of pictures on a LOT of settings and hope for the best....here are a few from Upper Antelope Slot Canyon on the Navajo Reservation.

This is one of the wider spots in the canyon where light gets in and the sand in the air highlights the shaft of light.

This shot was taken looking straight up to the opening at the top of the canyon.

This pick is looking straight up too - at flood debris high above the canyon floor. No way do you wanna be in a slot canyon during a flash flood.

Here's a pic of the beautiful swirls carved in the sandstone by the flash floods and the winds.

This was my best pic from this trip. Its a horizontal shot about head high at one of the major bends in the canyon. The tumbleweed fell in from the top of the canyon.

That first pic is stunning! Looks like something out of Star Trek. You have a good eye.

Cool! It looks like one of the fight scenes in "Scorpion King" during the sandstorm.

Beautiful pictures. But I guess that if there had been a cloud in the sky anywhere, you would not have gone there!
Well done, Ron.
Regards,
Mike

Beautiful photos. The slot canyon bands of colors and shapes has the look of modern abstract paintings. I love the photos, keep posting 'em. I look forward to seeing more of your desert adventures.

Stunning. I suppose if you need to consider taking your brolly you'd probably skip the trip? Worrying, the power of the water that can do that. I appreciate it's not all carved out on a wet afternoon but all the same, breathtaking. Cheers Ron. Smashin' pics as usual.
