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.
Un point de vue situé sur l'U.S. Route 89 (en) permet d'avoir une bonne vue d'ensemble du méandre.
Some would say the title describes me perfectly, but on this occasion its the natural dogleg in the river Soar, which has been given a lovely curve with the 9 shot panoramic stitch.
Last Sundays sunrise at Redhill marina was one of the most beautiful winter mornings I've been lucky to witness there, so fitting in the entire view seemed a great idea.
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/

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.
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 :)
The River Wharfe flowing quietly down Wharfedale between Starbotton and Kettlewell
The section from the river's source to around Addingham which includes this location is known as Upper Wharfedale and lies in North Yorkshire and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The first 15 miles or so is known as Langstrothdale, including the settlements of Beckermonds, Yockenthwaite and Hubberholme, famous for its church, the resting place of the writer J. B. Priestley. As it turns southwards, the Wharfe then runs through a green and lush valley, characterised by limestone outcrops, such as Kilnsey Crag, and woodland, generally quite unusual in the Dales.
This track between Kettlewell and Buckden is part of the Dales Way Long Distance Footpath from Ilkley to Bowness on Windermere.

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.
Bighorn Lake is visible at Horseshoe Bend in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The Matina’s boat dock is visible on the left side of the photo. Horseshoe bend is locted east of Lovell Wyoming in the Bighorn Basin. On the left the Bighorn Mountains can be seen in the distance. The red rocks belong to the Triassic Chugwater Formation and mke up the hills and cliffs just above the west side (right side of the ohoto) of the reservoir. Above the Chugwater are the Gypsum Springs, Sundance and Morrison Formations. The Cretaceous Cloverly Formation forms the top of the hill.

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?

Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park. Beautiful Sunrise views means a good place to meet other photographers. A busy spot in early morning and worth it!

The Colorado River started to cut through endless layers of rock, and when it ran into Horseshoe Bend, it creates this natural, sculptural landscape. The river eventually went around it, and now there is a 270-degree bend in the river which created the now-famous horseshoe shape. The sheer Cliff walls are made of Navajo Sandstone, a particularly dense type of sandstone. In the process of erosion, the sandstone acted as a natural barrier, forcing the water to make a sharp bend in the river thorough softer rocks.
