Flowers, cafe patrons and two gentlemen at the Performing Arts Centre when I went to see the Australian Chamber Orchestra performing music to Shaun Tan's illustrations for The Arrival and the Red Tree.
This was my first attempt using my Fuji for my son's crit race. Still need some practice but had so much fun shooting! It was great not being weighted down with heavy equipment. Thanks Flickr friends for the shooting advice! That's my son out front!

SR 98 begins at an intersection with US 89 just south of the Glen Canyon Dam along the Colorado River. It runs along the southern portion of the city of Page and turns southeast into the Navajo Indian Reservation. It enters the town of Kaibito in the reservation, but otherwise the stretch through the Native American reservation is mostly devoid of settlements. Following Indian Route 22, SR 98 intersects Indian Route 221 just north of its eastern terminus at US 160, the Navajo Trail.
The route was established in 1974, when portions of former Indian Route 22 were given to the Arizona Department of Transportation to establish as a state highway, as routed today. Portions of the route were realigned in Page when portions of the route were redefined as State Route 989. This portion in Page was later relinquished by ADOT to the city of Page. Four years later, the rest of the route was designated as a scenic road.
In 2013, due to the buckling of U.S. Route 89 south of Page, the route has become one of the major detour routes from the South Rim to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

I was able to visit Page, AZ and Lower Antelope Canyon after a business trip in Las Vegas. I arranged for two 2hr photography tours so I could get the morning and afternoon light. All I can say is that this place is magical! It was on my "Bucket List" and I just might have to go back again. I'll be posting some more images over the next few days and I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Thank you for visiting my Photostream and for your faves and comments.
Some information on Lower Antelope Canyon...
Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. The light beams that appear at different spots in the canyon during mid day are the highlight of Upper Antelope, while the rock formations are the focus of Lower Antelope.
The number of visitors has increased significantly in recent years. It is still well worth visiting and can provide for some striking images, but photographing amongst the crowd has become a stressful experience even if the Navajo guides do a good job with crowd control if you are in one of the "Photographer Tours".
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí, or "spiral rock arches."
Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock.
