The Place Where Water Runs Through Rocks

"The Place Where Water Runs Through Rocks"

 

Formed by the flow of water over hundreds of years eroding the Najavo Sandstone, Upper Antelope Canyon is unique and beautiful.

 

Each time I looked to another part of the slot canyon, it was as if I was in another place; every corner of this geological formation is unique to every other; yet they are all interconnected by the direction of the smooth wavy lines and curves formed by erosion from flash floods.

 

The sun shines bright, creating light and shadows from above. Endless flowing sandstone walls, so close together, dance away from and then toward each other again; the space between them emphazing their beautiful texture.

 

This image, to me, brings back the feeling of actually standing inside The Place Where Water Runs Through Rocks - that is what the Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon actually means - and appreciating the beauty as far as the eye could see, even more so knowing that it was created by something as simple, beautiful, and elegant as flowing water.

 

It is my intention with this photograph that you also can feel, even a little bit, what it feels like to stand inside this amazing place and experience it for yourself - and that it inspires you to explore the world and all the wonderous beauty that Mother Nature has to offer, and experience the joy that this will bring you.

 

To life!
