Layered, swirling sandstone slot canyon walls burst with colors as sunlight reaches into their depth. Located on Navajo Nation territory, Antelope Canyon is the most visited slot canyon in the U.S. southwest.

Jasper, Jean and I are exploring Southern Utah this week. This morning we found a couple of slot canyons near Kanab. Though a bit too wet for a thorough exploration, it was still very cool. Even at 12 years old, Jasper hiked like a champ.
Beautiful slot canyon formations in Cardiac Canyon, including this one that resembles a howling dog or beast.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.
Het Slot Haamstede is een oud kasteel dat ligt in het dorp Haamstede op Schouwen-Duiveland. De beroemdste bewoner van dit slot was Witte van Haamstede, een bastaardzoon van graaf Floris V.
In 1973 is het kasteel gerestaureerd, en in 1981 werd het, met kasteelbos en uitgestrekt duingebied, verkocht aan de Vereniging Natuurmonumenten.

Slot Canyon, Arizona, USA
If you are looking to visit a slot canyon, this site horseshoebendtours.com/ offers both private and limited number tours. 14 is the max. It was an awesome experience. Something I have wanted to do for a long time. Not sure I did the canyon justice but I certainly enjoyed it. One item off the bucket list :-)
Upper Antelope - Hasdeztwazi or spiral rock arches, created by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes…
A beautiful place the canyons are amazing This is out of my comfort zone ! but having a great time in Arizona.
Macro Mondays 'holes' theme.
I took several different photos for this week's 'holes' theme, then dithered about which one to upload, finally deciding on this one of a dark grey plastic slotted serving spoon. It's hangs on a rack and is rarely used as you can tell by the dreaded macro dust!
The image measures 1.25" in width
Slot canyon hiking can be one of the most interesting and challenging activities in red rock canyon country. Over eons of storms, slot canyons were formed by racing water and the tumble of boulders and other debris leaving interesting patterns and colors in the sandstone.
Navigating the large boulders, steep talus slopes, and deep pools requires special gear and skills to maneuver.
The most important skill is possession of a conservative mindset when it comes to when to hike down a slot canyon, and more importantly, when not to hike. Flashfloods can blossom into catastrophic events even when there is little or no precipitation in the immediate vicinity. Far away mountains and plateaus are carved with numerous rivulets, washes, and creeks that funnel rain water into many slot canyons.
My words here come from an experience of having to climb up out of an approaching flashflood and watching many flashfloods from a distance over the years. Stay safe!
A view of Lower Antelope Slot canyon near Page, Arizona. This is a 5 exposure hdr followed by Lucisart processing to bring out the texture. I also pushed the color saturation but did not add color or colorize the image in any way.

We drove to Zion National Park for the day. The park was so crowded with people it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. It probably seemed even more crowded to us because we have spent so much time in remote places recently. We decided to leave but on the way out happened to snag a parking spot along the road. Then we dropped down into the wash which runs below the road. We hiked a few miles along the wash and ran into very few people, most of them stayed up near the road. We found several lovely slot canyons.
