This is a shot from lower Antelope Canyon just outside of Page, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. Antelope Canyon is without a doubt the most photographed slot canyon in the world. And for good reason! It is remarkably beautiful and also very easily accessible. I try to stay away from these iconic locations as I know it is hard if not impossible to sometimes create a unique image in these spots, but as a full time pro I need these icon style shots for sales as well as marketing purposes.
While in the canyon, I had some great light and took the opportunity to avoid the classic shots and work on a few of my own impressions of this place. Here is the first from the shoot.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful it's almost unbelievable....not a soul in sight, just me, my camera and the ocean. Being in a place like this at 6 in the morning is so calming, I recommend to come here after a long week of work, for a few breaths of fresh air and whilst there maybe try to close your eyes for a minute or two. Can't imagine a better start to a new day, apart from breakfast in bed perhaps :o)
This fantastic sandstone formation is known as the Second Wave and can be found in the North Coyote Buttes wilderness of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. Its a great place to end the day after exploring The Wave and the area surrounding it. My client and I were lucky to have the place to ourselves on this particular evening, giving us a chance to take our time looking for compositions within the formation without having to worry about getting in the way of other photographers.

After four years without passenger service, rural Minnesota was excited to get the train between the Twin Cities and the Twin Ports back, but disappointed to learn the run would be non-stop. On April 15, 1975, Sandstone High School and many citizens turned out at the station to lobby the inaugural run of the train for service to the community.
A sandstone stack - is this not what nearly every tourists does when they come across a pile of rocks on the beach or in the bush? Some make a rock stack for fun other make them for a cairn to make the way or a particular spot. Mine is purely a stack,; it is not marking anything, it is stacked purposely for this photo.
Scavenger Challenge - June 2018 Assignment - “S nouns”
I'm on the road again, heading for the Bungle Bungles in north east WA. Not much time for computer upload, but I will try and add a couple more shots later today.
Another one of my desert plant blooming in the rock shots. I just love that the beauty of life can find its way in the most dire of circumstances.
Sandstone Falls
Hinton, WV
This is a very small section of Sandstone Falls on the New River.
The largest waterfall on the New River is about 1500 feet wide at the point it encounters a sandstone ledge. The river breaks over and around the ledge, creating an island and a number of falls of varying heights and widths depending on the level of the river.
This is one of the first sections of the falls you see when park at the visitors center.
The day after a storm swept through the Moab, Utah area, the clouds parted, revealing the sun and leaving a light dusting of snow in the higher elevations of Arches National Park. This photo is a view of Balanced Rock and the Arches highlands.
Oh, Balanced Rock, poised against the sky,
A testament to wonder, where dreams learn to fly.
In the morning's gentle glow, we stand and gaze in awe,
At the beauty of the world, our Creator’s love and law.
Sandstone Canyon Walls. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. October 20, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Detail of a fractured sandstone cliff in a canyon at Capitol Reef National Park.
Over several years and several visits I began to understand Capitol Reef National Park a bit more. (Though it is a big and varied place, and true knowledge of the place — as is the case with any such landscape — comes from longer experience than I yet have.) Understanding comes partly from experiencing a wider range of the park's geography than that in the most conveniently located places. Visiting during different parts of the year and in varied conditions helps — a sunny spring morning is very different from a freezing late October morning. Finding a few personal spots that feel like familiar friends is part of the process.
The sandstone-walled canyons are all over this part of the Southwest. I distinctly recall the first one I visited, walking into it in the morning, wading up canyon in the shallow stream, winding through its twists and turns as the canyon deepened. More visits taught me that each canyon has is own personality — yet some general features are shared by most of them. Unlike most of my Sierra Nevada world, where one often feels open to the entire sky, in the canyons the world shrinks to what you can see between two twists in the course of the stream that created the canyon. Views of the sky are extremely limited, and your focus soon turns almost exclusively to things that are nearby. There is little wind and usually the quiet is broken only by the sound of water, perhaps some birds, and your own passage. The light bounces among red rock walls and diffuses as it gently arrives from far above.

During my four-day loss of internet service, I decided I had enough images to start another collection, Shooting Sandstone.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
Going through the images and picking the best was something I have been thinking about for a while now. Thanks to AT&T, I finally had time.

New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, West Virginia (Oct 28, 2023)
a short but lovley section of the Sandstone way in Cheshire, Uk, the kind of place you can still feel the breeze, and imagine a much more slower pace of life whilst waiting for that gentle plod of the hores and cart.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I got lucky getting to this spot just in time to align the sun in a hole in the sandstone bluff.
I went for World Pinhole Photography Day, but I figured I'd grab a shot with my phone while I was there.

The walls of Tynemouth Priory, eroded by centuries of storms from the North Sea. This kind of sandstone was used in medieval buildings throughout the region (e.g. in Newcastle and Durham).

Bohemian Switzerland (Czech: České Švýcarsko; German: Böhmische Schweiz), also known as Czech Switzerland, is a picturesque region in the north-western Czech Republic. It lies on the Czech side of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains north of Děčín on both sides of the Elbe River. It extends eastward into the Lusatian Mountains and westward into the Ore Mountains. Its highest elevation is the mountain Děčínský Sněžník at 726m above sea level. It has been a protected area (as ChKO Labske Piskovce) since 1972.
The region along the right side of the Elbe became a national park on January 1, 2000, the České Švýcarsko National Park. The National Park is adjacent to the Saxon Switzerland National Park (Sächsische Schweiz) in Germany.

After a few years of planning and some bad luck two years ago, I visited the Pravčická brána stone arch during an October morning to witness sunrise at this magical place. Once again I realized that the stone arch is much more appealing from this other eastern (inaccessible) side...
Sandstone Falls was created by the powerful flow of the New River eroding the soft conglomerate rock layer that lies below the hard sandstone layer from which the falls gets its name. Through eons of time as the river washed away the conglomerate beneath the harder sandstone, the precipice of the falls and the great boulders below were created. The falls are still a dynamic geological environment as slowly but surely the falls, through time are advancing upstream.
