Horseshoe Bend Rocks

Everybody wants to take the wide angle shot here at Horseshoe Bend in Northern Arizona. And, it you have great technical skill like Chief Bwana, you can make some amazing pics of that shot. But I have limited skills, so I sometimes like to take a bite of the elephant, and look for an unusual piece of the pie in such circumstances. I love this place. The water is crystal clear, having been just realeased from nearby Glenn Canyon Dam near Page at Lake Powell. It reflects the color of the sky perfectly, and has under normal circumstances a blue green metalic sheen. This morning, it was partly cloudy, and the rivers colors were a little more subtle. The rock in this area, is colorful, marbled, and wonderfully bizzare at some places.
