Formed when the Colorado River looped around an impassable sandstone escarpment, Horseshoe Bend is a unique American icon and one of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area's popular attractions. Shot at the viewing deck when the late afternoon Sun colored the red canyon walls even more vivid. Did not have luxury to stay longer to shoot the sunset. Will definitely come back.

Le Horseshoe Bend (« la courbe du fer à cheval ») est le nom d'un méandre du fleuve Colorado situé à 6 km au sud de la ville de Page en Arizona et correspondant à un ancien plateau érodé.

Le méandre se trouve un peu en aval du barrage de Glen Canyon et du lac Powell.

... dopo un primo tentativo, effettuato in modo sconsiderato alle 13.00 sotto un sole a picco e temperature degne di un buon forno a micro onde, prima di sera ci muoviamo nuovamente da Page e raggiungiamo l' Horseshoe bend ...

 

Superato il breve dislivello che dal parcheggio porta al nostro obiettivo lo spettacolo che si disvela difronte ai nostri occhi è di quelli da togliere il fiato ...

la maestosità degli spazi e la profondità del canyon a picco sull'ansa del fiume Colorado sovrastano e privano di importanza la gran quantità di turisti che, come piccole formiche, si muovono lungo i bordi della cengia ...

 

poi, lentamente, il sole ci saluta, ed il cielo, che si specchia nelle calme acque del fiume, si veste dei suoi colori più belli ...

Another one from our trip to the Palouse.

 

I am still having issues with Flickr. It's very slow and I keep getting bad pandas. For those of you who don't know, I found it interesting that the bad panda image came from someone's post five years ago, and it now has almost 633,000 views because it was used by Flickr. Here it is: www.flickr.com/photos/toyokazu/8644384737/

Last stop on my long Fall 2022 road trip was the pass south through Yellowstone and the Grand Teton. Even though it was mid-morning, I still made the obligatory stop at Oxbow Bend. I'd already been astounded at the low water level of Jackson Lake. I asked at the Coulter Bay Visitor Center and the ranger said something about water being allocated to farming. The low level of the meandering Snake River was still a surprise. On the cool side, check the water fowl there on the exposed bank.

Horseshoe Bend is the intimate Grand Canyon experience. It overlooks one of the most spectacular views on the Colorado River. 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. Went there four times at sunrise, sunset, cloudy day and sunshine day, the picture was taken in a cloudy day. The light was soft, not so strong, loving the soft sun’s ray illuminating canyon’s twisting sandstone cliffs. I posted photos before, this photo was not including the sky, just the soft light on the cliff rocks and river…

I considered posting one more snow image, but instead decided to go into my archives and post something very different for me. I took this while on a road trip around Vancouver Island last September. I can pretty much bet you didn't know this was mine when you first saw it :)

Explore a meandering, horseshoe-shaped section of the Colorado River known as Horseshoe Bend, must join tour to visit those areas. “Horseshoe bend and slot canyon tour” at sunset time, this section of horseshoe bend is the private area, getting there were like on the kind of “horse” wagon, up and down on the road, sunshine, raining, hail, sunshine... what a weather! Arrived another side of horseshoe bend, like that quiet feeling facing to spectacular desert landscape shaped by wind and water.

This is a shot of my home from Bessie Butte. Bend is nestled in all those trees. I love my home!

Another photo from our walk through Long Timber Woods at Ivybridge at the very southern tip of Dartmoor National Park. The arch in the background is a fallen tree which landed in this odd orientation. I took another photo further upstream with that tree as the main focus but the bend of the river here looked more interesting in the end.

I love to drive in the country in Autumn--I just can't wait to see what is around the bend!!! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEK SO FAR----I AM BUSY TODAY--CATCH YOU LATER--THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO STOP IN!

Even in stormy weather, Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming is a stunning sight.

The Toledo bend is a large man-made body of water between Louisiana and Texas. The length of the lake is approximately 85 miles long. The lake has two purposes. Its an electric power plant and is capable to provide water to the city of Houston.

 

The lake is also a very popular with Bass sport fisherman.

We experienced a lot of rain and cloudy weather while staying in Page, Arizona. The back country roads we wanted to travel were largely inaccessible. Thus we visited Horseshoe Bend several times because we could travel there on paved roads. The 1,000 feet deep canyon is amazing. While we did see the sun burst through storm clouds during our stay, I confess it wasn't at the time of visiting Horseshoe Bend. But the magic of Photoshop helped me get the sky I wanted!

 

Happy Slider Sunday!

Der Horseshoe Bend in Arizona fasziniert jährlich eine menge Leute. In Deutschland gibt es etwas ähnliches. Der Fluss der dort fließt, ist der sogenannte Colorado River. Man muss jedoch für seinen Parkplatz 10 Dollar zahlen.

Grand Teton National Park - Classic shot of Oxbow Bend at sunrise. When I first arrived at this location, the fog was so thick you couldn't even see Mt Moran. Luckily the fog part as the sun rose to reveal this beautiful scene!!

November trip to Toledo Bend

Your vision can bend reality, you might see things unseen. Your sight is a sight of an artist. Where others see trees, you might see the forest. Where others see a dezert, you might see the ocean. Your vision can turn nothing to something. That's the creativity. So what do you see?
