Antelope Canyon

Ever since developing an interest (perhaps obsession) over photography, I have been wanting to see with my own eyes those magical scenes normally displayed at a gallery. Finally after two brutal years of graudate school, I rewarded myself a trip to the world famous Antelope Canyon in Arizona.

The Soaring Eagle

This sandstone that shapes like an eagle can be found in the Lower Antelope Canyon. Compared to Upper Antelope Canyon, the lower path is four times longer and less visited, but equally amazing.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near Page, AZ. You have to look down the cliff to see it. Per Google terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.

Upper Antelope Canyon

Upper Antelope Canyon is the most-photographed slot canyon in American Southwest. It is always fully packed and the path is super narrow. I made the smart decision to go with the photographer's tour and it immediately paid for itself. The scene where the beam of light shines through the cracks is jaw-dropping. It's indescribable. 

夢遊仙境

One of pictures I have forgotten to upload from the amazing Antelope Canyon. This one is fairly close to the entrance. It was the first light shaft we saw and the sound of wow echoed inside the canyon. Our tour guide did a decent job rushing the crowd so we were all able to get a few clear shots, despite the place was packed.
