These photos of Antelope Canyon, one of the most popular slot canyons in the Southwest, are photographs which represent Arizona’s popular and unique beauty. The photographic opportunities presented here can only be captured with a lot of patience and a profound appreciation of the forces of nature that created the sandstone landscape found throughout much of the American Southwest. The Navajo Sandstone structure of the Colorado Plateau lends itself to the awesome forces of nature which create opportunities for magnificent and exciting photographic images. Exposed to the wind, rain and rushing waters, the soft sandstone is easily sculpted by erosion creating narrow sheer walled canyons and cathedral like settings. The most notable slot canyon, Antelope Canyon located on the Navajo Indian Reservation, is an experience of awe and wonderment which instills a sense of humility. Its unique and finely sculpted walls, highlighted by reflected sunlight, provide a never ending and varied kaleidoscope of color as the sun passes overhead and the day progresses.
