Glowing Rocks

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 20 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

My apologies for the erratic comments the past few weeks. I was on a road trip in the great American West. I'm home now.

Here is a sample of what I saw. This is Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ. It's a narrow slot canyon where the light makes the rocks glow.

Part of The Great American West series.

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada

Wow, this is spectacular Steve. Amazing how the rocks have been smoothed over time. We did a hike in that area several years ago. We also did a raft trip in the (I believe it's called) Helena Canyon. I love the particular perspective you've taken in this and how that tunnel effect draws the viewer's eye.
