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.
HDR of three autobracket handheld shots, Horseshoe Bend at Page Arizona USA where the Colorado River meanders through the landscape
Horseshoe Bend es una especie de meandro inciso en forma de herradura del río Colorado ubicado cerca de la ciudad de Page, Arizona, Estados Unidos.
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.
My version of Horseshoe Bend located outside of Page, Arizona. It is only a 3/4 mile hike from the parking lot, but in 110 degree heat, it felt like miles.
Sunset at Horse shoe Bend. The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop
Running around Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.

With a little Saturday morning cartoons and beer, you've got yourself a Saturday Bender :P
Lego Bender is our third entry for our Iron Builder. against Tyler Clites and Nannan Zhang!
Also, you can follow us on our new Facebook page :)
In the future we'll be posting non-lego art there as well as little extras that wouldn't otherwise make it onto our Flickr
Just another shot of the iconic Horseshoe Bend.
This is a place that truly has to be seen in person to get the full experience. If you are afraid of heights, the thrill factor will be even more multiplied for you :-)
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.
Here I zoomed in the focus on some rugged peaks of the mountain side that easily showed the volcanic remnants of an eon long ago in the Chisos Mountains. With some work in Capture NX2, I was able to bring out the feel for a lower exposure by using a Low Key CEP filter that really complemented the settings with its colors in greens, yellows, browns, and oranges.
Visitors to Horseshoe Bend know the challenge of photographing the Colorado River as it winds around Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona. On an earlier trip I photographed the Canyon using a Sigma 10mm lens producing a single RAW file. Looking for a better approach this trip, I decided to try a four-image panorama--a risky venture because the Canyon is 1000' vertical drop from my vantage point and holding the camera level (no tripod) was difficult.
Although not completely satisfied, I do favor this multiple-image pano to my earlier shots. I suspect every photographer struggles with the laws of physics and the unique trade-offs that ensue. Horseshoe Bend is just that way!

This was the first place I visited after buying my first DSLR and it continues to be one of my favorite places.
I had a chance to visit it again during a recent trip to Arizona and Utah. The image is very similar to the one I took a couple of years ago, but the composition is better on this one as I was able to find a spot which allowed me to see the full curve of the river. Still hoping to catch it with some nice clouds and colorful sunset some day. Maybe next time.
Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River, about four miles or 6 km southwest of Page, Arizona. Accessible via a ½-mile (0.8 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. According to Google terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.
The mountain was shy on this morning, hidden behind this low layer of clouds that came jetting over the hillside. I saw the colors change in the sky and the clouds twirling above the lake during this brilliant display, all the while the mountain hidden beyond the clouds. Finally, the clouds parted, and this scene unfolded.
