The classic shot above the bend. It's a 1000 foot drop at the edge. I think I got close enough.

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity. Hazel Lee

Page, Arizona
The clouds provided by a recently passed storm soften the light at the Horseshoe Bend created by the erosion of the Colorado River. The site is located near Page, AZ and is upstream of the Grand Canyon and shortly downstream of the the Glen Canyon Dam that forms Lake Powell. As with other sites, people endanger themselves by doing such things as sitting on the edge of the cliffs which rise about 1,000 ft above the river.
The vantage point is so remarkable in allowing the visitor to view the remarkable symmetry of the canyon created by the river. I think that interest is also added in that the outside side of the canyon is just high enough to allow yo to see the top of the plateau on the opposite side.
I considered removing the boats on the right, but they were in fact there at the time and do provide some size perspective.
The place has become extremely popular, but its popularity is justified.

Horseshoe Bend near Page Arizona.
I took this photo back when you could find a little solitude there. I and two friends were the only ones there this night. Since then this location has turned into nothing less than a madhouse.

The fifth stop on my recent roadtrip was the Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River, just outside of Page, Arizona and only about a 10 minute drive from Antelope Canyon. There's a parking area just off the highway, and then a short hike takes you to this viewpoint.
A star tail over my bike and camp in Big Bend. I had bikepacked up a rough desert road to a desert campsite. Had all my camping, photography gear plus 8 liters of water strapped to the bike . Let the camera run all night to get this.

I nicknamed this bend the "Not Horseshoe Bend!"
Incredible vistas abound in the desert Southwest and I feel so fortunate to be able to experience them first hand. It's even more magical to be there under a dark, starry sky. I'm excited to take a group of photographers to many of my favorite spots at the end of this month, May 31-June 5. If you'd like to join, one last minute spot became available!
Oxbow Bend sees a large number of roadside wildlife watchers, so we enjoyed getting above it all. You can barely see the Snake River left of Signal Mountain in this image. The mountains at distant right are, of course, the Grand Tetons.

Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. Horseshoe Bend is located 5 miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 4 miles southwest of Page.

This is another version of sunset I shot on the last day of my SW trip. It was merged by four vertical shots.
For at least 12,000 years, until the winter of 1824, the Bend area was known only to Native Americans who hunted and fished there. That year, members of a fur trapping party led by Peter Skene Ogden visited the area. John C. Frémont, John Strong Newberry, and other Army survey parties came next. Then pioneers heading farther west passed through the area and forded the Deschutes River at Farewell Bend.

This place is definitely over photographed..but it is definitely worth taking a photo of your own. Thanks for looking!

The Richland Bend Habitat Management Unit is ironically located in West Pasco even though Richland is across the Columbia River. A strange naming occurrence for sure. Either way, the fall colors were looking amazing after a little rain!

This horseshoe bend is one of the most photographed subjects in the world. However more than often those images looked muted to me, in a sense the rocks are rather "dry", like they absorbed all the lights without reflecting them at all. I decided to make some effort in post processing this image to give them liveliness by making them a bit reflective. I like the result.

This picture was taken from another place at the same time as the previous one but the next day. I put the tripod at the edge of the canyon, and pressed the button on the shutter release remote. That is the place from which you can have the whole river bend in the frame. The weather conditions were not so good for photographing the place. High wind turned into a sand storm with drops of rain. It didn't last long, fortunately I was on the way to the parking lot at the time.
