Sandstone sculpture, Arizona

This composition possibility caught my eye because of the jagged line between light and darkness and, of course, because of the gorgeous color.

 

The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or “Spiral Rock Arches.” This slot canyon has been created over many thousands of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes.

 

The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon’s walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow. (Description from lowerantelope.com)
