Photographer's Note
Antelope Canyon is a small but exquisitely beautiful geological formation in northern Arizona. It is not a national or state park and is often overlooked by many tourists visiting the area. It takes only an hour or two to see it all, but it is worth the time. Its unsurpassed beauty is breathtaking. It is a photographer's dream.
Antelope Canyon is located a few miles of east of Page, Arizona. Actually there are two antelope Canyon's located on either side of route 98. Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon are both owned by the Navajo Nation. Unfortunately, they charge separate entry fees of about $18 per person for each part of this attraction. Since the upper and lower canyons are very similar, you need visit only one.
Page Arizona is located on the Utah border of North Central Arizona. This small desert community is primarily known as the location of the Glen Canyon Dam and the gateway to the Lake Powell recreational area. It is about two hours from Monument Valley, two hours from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, three hours from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, two hours from Zion national Park and four hours from Las Vegas.
The entrances to upper and lower Antelope Canyon are easy to miss. Only small signs along route 98 mark these attractions. They are located about five miles east of Page just before the great Navajo power generating plant. A small admissions booth and a parking lot are the only noticeable features in the desert landscape.
Hope you like it. Any comment is more than welcome!!!

Hi Denis,
I like the different shades in your photo, how it starts from some dark ceramics-red color and completely light "in the end", I like that gradation. Excellent job, very precisely done.
Best,
Gordana.

Hi Denis, this is a beautiful shot obtained in difficult conditions. The exposure is perfect despite wide variations in lighting within the shot. The canyon forms a nice frame of itself which is repeated throught the shot.
My only comment would be to post at full 800 pixel size to really take full advantage of these beautiful colours.
Kindest regards,
Don
