I know I have not posted a picture for literally ages but as you all know, life can get busy. After 2 years of hiatus, traveling for work and conferences is back to almost pre-covid normal so I was finally able to go to a conference in Las Vegas. Knowing how close Grand Canyon is, I didnt miss the chance to drive there and visit this breathtaking natural wonder. More pictures of the Canyon will follow, with more detail about its size and vastness, but here is probably the most photographed spot of the Grand Canyon, the famous Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ.

The Colorado River started to cut through endless layers of rock, and when it ran into Horseshoe Bend, it creates this natural, sculptural landscape. The river eventually went around it, and now there is a 270-degree bend in the river which created the now-famous horseshoe shape. The sheer Cliff walls are made of Navajo Sandstone, a particularly dense type of sandstone. In the process of erosion, the sandstone acted as a natural barrier, forcing the water to make a sharp bend in the river thorough softer rocks.
Eerder was ik mijn reisfoto's van Amerika kwijt, van alles geprobeerd deze terug te krijgen, uiteindelijk is het gelukt dmv een diepte scan van mijn SD-kaartjes :-)
Niet alle foto's zijn goed uit de verf gekomen, maar van alle locaties heb ik wel iets, daar ben ik enorm blij om!
It’s been brought to my attention that this also looks like Dead Horse Point in Utah. This is an older photo that I had on a laptop and I think it’s Horseshoe Bend, but not positive! I should research more before posting.
Oxbow Bend is an overlook along highway 89/191 between Jackson Lake Junction and Moran Junction.
An oxbow is a crescent-shaped section of river lying alongside a flowing, winding river. The oxbow is created over time as erosion and deposits of soil change the river's course.
Oxbow Bend is home to a variety of birds and animals, including pelicans, Great Blue Herons, muskrats, otters, moose, and bear. On calm days, Mount Moran can be seen reflected on the surface of the water. Oxbow Bend is a popular area to view sunrise or sunset, and is visited by photographers hoping to capture the river and Teton Range.

Zoomed in for this long exposure there in the early morning light. The Snake River was a peaceful place to be on this morning.
The bend in the track is overshadowed by the crazy bend in the mature beech and they bend the same way! Odd! Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire
I call this s-curve in the Spaulding Drain of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge the "Heron Bend". When the light and sky are right, it makes for a compelling look, as taken on July 22, 2023.

This is a mediocre shot of Oxbow Bend in the Teton National Park. I love it, but plan to go pack and try it again! I am hoping for a day when there are more clouds in the sky and the water is calmer for a perfect reflection.
