Horseshoe Bend is one of the most photographed areas on the Colorado River, located just north of Grand Canyon and outside Page, Arizona. It is accessible via hiking a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) round trip from U.S. Route 89. 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.
Colorful sunset on the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River in Wyoming. Taken a few minutes later than the one I posted a couple of weeks ago.
A monochrome version of Horseshoe Bend. I posted a color horseshoe bend pic a couple of weeks ago. This is not an identical comp, it was taken from a different (and less precarious) perch that provided a bit more angle on the river.
I keep thinking I am coming to the end of the postable photos from my New Years trip to Nevada/Utah/Arizona with friends Kevin Benedict and Josh Krasner, but then I keep finding "one more thing" that I like enough to work on. Sometimes monochrome shots reveal detail and beauty in landscapes that appeal greatly to me. I particularly liked the "oily" look of the water in this picture. The monochrome also lends a sense of the timelessness of this classic western US landscape.
For Flickr Lounge weekly theme - A curving line.
And 52 weeks the 2015 Edition weekly theme - Breaking the rules.
Long story short, moved out on my own right after Brickworld this year, car blew up on me, and life was generally crazy. Just last month finally got my entire collection set up to a usable state!
So builds will be coming more frequently!
Anywho, here's SteamBoat Bender.
The Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona. This is one half of the bend.
I've shot this location twice, once during the daytime and again at sunset. While I was there for the sunset I decided that I was going to try to get more comps than just the wide shot of the bend that everyone that goes there gets. This is one of the shots.
I still have allot of photos from Utah and Arizona that need to be processed.

A curve is a topological space which is locally homeomorphic to a line. In every day language, this means that a curve is a set of points which, near each of its points, looks like a line, up to a deformation.
Playing with the 'Pixel Bender' plug in from Adobe with the previous post for fun and creativity.

I dug this out of my files, this was taken on April of 2010. Its quite a rush standing on the edge of a 600+ foot bluff. I actually lowered my tripod and sat in the lotus position to get these shots, much safer. Its a great location, I was hoping for a boat to come around the bend to offer a bit of perspective but it never happened.
All C&C is welcome
The Sheet Bend (or Becket Bend) is practical for joining together lines of different diameters. This is an example of a double Sheet Bend.

Fairly typical shot of Horseshoe Bend but I wanted one for myself. The shooting of this was anything but typical for me. I had read multiple times that you have to get right up to the edge of the canyon to get this shot but nothing prepared me for reality.
It clearly was not a big deal for most people as they were skipping around from rock to rock flirting with death as far as I am concerned. I'm not sure when exactly I became afraid of heights. I still distinctly remember hanging over balconies and even jumping from apartment to apartment back when I was in College but somewhere along the line I became paralyzed by heights.
I never actually even saw this scene with my own eyes. I had to crawl up to the edge with live view on and shoot this series. I was a bit away from where people usually setup as I figured it would look fairly awkward to be the lone guy crawling to the edge amongst a sea of photographers...
Anyway, my take on Horseshoe Bend, beautiful place but I doubt I'll ever go back.
By the way I started a google+ page if anybody is interested. I haven't figured out exactly what I 'm going to do with it but it appears to be one of the best places on the web to actually display images. Better quality than Flickr as far as I'm concerned. Take a look and add me if you like! Google +
A nice little scene with ivy-ranked trees in my local forest. The bending road caught my eye as the scene was flooded with golden light of the setting sun. By the time this photo was edited, the scene had already turned into green.

I photograph this bend a lot :-)
The light and autumn colours were beautiful that day.
Finally made it to this iconic location in Page, AZ. This is a 3 shots composite.

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado river located near the town of Page, Arizona.
As you walk down the trail, loose desert sand gives way to sandstone rocks that date back to the early Jurassic period. Over millions of years, wind and water have eroded these rocks to create absolutely weird, but awe inspiring shapes and patterns.
Upon reaching the overlook, one is awed by the magnificence of the landscape that cannot be expressed in words or through a photograph. The overlook is at the top of a steep orange colored cliff several hundreds of feet high. Down below, a blue-green Colorado river makes a horse-shoe shaped bend before rushing towards the Grand Canyon.
Thanks for your comments and faves :)
