This is Horseshoe Bend/Canyon in Page Arizona taken during or May vacation. I wanted so bad to do a sunset here but the night before this shot it rained so hard that we ended up going to the movie theater instead. Then on Sunday after they told us that our Antelope Canyon tour was canceled due to flood waters in the canyon we headed to Horseshoe Bend to see if we could at least see this.
We got there and of course it was lightly raining...just enough to irritate you. Well we headed up to Horseshoe Bend along with about 100-200 other tourist hoping to stay dry long enough to get a couple good photos in. Well actually when we were just about to leave the sky opened up for about 10 minutes and the sun shined long enough for me to get a couple sunlit shots.
A bend in the Danube river, Upper Austria in autumn, the viewpoint is accessible by a 40 minute walking trail. Expensive parking that takes only coins below. At least the gasoline was cheaper than in Germany.
For the last 6 months or so I had been uploading photos chronologically, but from now on I will be mixing things up to add more variety to day to day uploads.
Continuing on with my little Wyoming adventure we find ourselves at the beautiful Oxbow Bend. After almost no sleep the night before, a 10 mile hike, and an unexpectedly cold night at the foothills of the Tetons I decided to get up early and catch the sunrise. I woke up about 30 minutes after my alarm went off and 15 minutes before sunrise. I jumped up, threw my clothes on and rushed out the door (of the tent) all while praying I'd have a halfway decent place to shoot without having to climb underneath someone's tripod. Fortunately, I was staying about 8 minutes from Oxbow Bend according to my GPS which means about 5 if you "forget" to look at your speedometer. As you can see I made it in time for the sunrise and I believe it's the best light I had the entire trip. I opted for the long exposure because I thought the softness of moving clouds would showcase the rigid mountain structure a bit better.
Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.
I stopped at the scenic Horseshoe Bend at Sunset. There's something mesmerizing about sitting at the edge and looking inside this time capsule. The Colorado river shaping it's way through like it has done for millions of years.

The Norfolk & Western heritage unit leads a train on the CP, rounding the bend at Somoa, IA, on its way to Nahant Yard in Davenport.
I was told I had to get accustomed to this camera, Pinhole Blender mini-35, and I shure need that. No I know a bit more about the camera so thet the next film shall be better.
The sun set nicely. in the early afternoon I took a seat just outside the station of Assmannshausen where there is this nice bend to photograph trains coming from Rüdesheim.

Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park....
If you have the time, I hope you'll view this at the larger size linked below:
This horseshoe bend is called 한반도 which translates to Korea peninsula. Took me quite a while to get it but I guess the middle part does look abit like Korea on the map if you stare long and hard enough 😂 in other news..
I first photographed this bend on 5th Nov 2020 and commented that I hoped it wouldn't drift down the bay too quickly as there was a tree just out of shot which would compromise my options. It is now just clearing the tree so fair game once more - the tree now being just out of shot to the on the other side. It is also a more mature, wider bend.
My best image of Horseshoe Bend...(FYI - you really need a wide angle lens to do this shot justice!) This panorama is a composition of 7 different shots. Can you see those tiny boats down there?
Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States

JJ continued our walk along the Convent Walk, enjoying the views along the way.
The Mill Stream starts to bend round at this point, never that far from Christchurch Priory (left, out of shot here)
The clouds provided by a recently passed storm soften the light at the Horseshoe Bend which was created by the power of the Colorado River. The site is located near Page, AZ and is upstream of the Grand Canyon and shortly downstream of the the Glen Canyon Dam that forms Lake Powell. As with other sites, people endanger themselves by doing such things as sitting on the edge of the cliffs which rise about 1,000 ft above the river.
This is a different approach from my earlier 14 mm photo. Taken at 24 mm, I think that it brings the formation and the Colorado River closer and helps them dominate the photo. Also, the distant mountains and the storm appear closer. I used the close rocks to frame the photo, but kept them out of focus to draw more attention to the bend itself.

Horseshoe Bend near Page Arizona.
I took this photo back when you could find a little solitude there. I and two friends were the only ones there this night. Since then this location has turned into nothing less than a madhouse.

A star tail over my bike and camp in Big Bend. I had bikepacked up a rough desert road to a desert campsite. Had all my camping, photography gear plus 8 liters of water strapped to the bike . Let the camera run all night to get this.

Horseshoe Bend is a river meander on the Colorado River a few miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam. It is easily accessible off U.S. Route 89 about four miles southwest of Page, Arizona. It is viewed from a steep cliff above with no rails. The overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot drop.

I nicknamed this bend the "Not Horseshoe Bend!"
Incredible vistas abound in the desert Southwest and I feel so fortunate to be able to experience them first hand. It's even more magical to be there under a dark, starry sky. I'm excited to take a group of photographers to many of my favorite spots at the end of this month, May 31-June 5. If you'd like to join, one last minute spot became available!
A hidden bend on the River Etive. This spot can't be seen from the road, but we noticed a small path through the trees that seemed to be used by local fishermen (and herds of deer). We wandered through and found ourselves in this amazing location with some of the most spectacular views of the river and the surrounding hills.
Just before taking this photo, I sat on a small bench on that headland to the left in the middle distance and Liz snapped a photo which I am now using as my Flickr avatar.
