(as you know!)

I thought it would be nice to show my friends here in the Photography Group where I've been...

Been waiting for you to post them here.

I bet it would bring out some nice textures and shades.

It is a fantastic place, and as the word gets out, it's getting more and more popular. If you can go, do it in the off-season.

some preset filters in your software.

I love 3 and 4 especially!!

Wonderful shots!!

#3 is my new cover photo on Facebook.

What an incredible place. It seems like you might get a little claustrophobic though? Well the photos are well worth it!

It was truly incredible.

Luckily, I don't normally feel claustrophobic. And this is open to the sky, being a slot canyon. So you can see out, even if only a little...

when I first saw photographs of Antelope Canyon. then I was actually fortunate enough to see it, with a tall old Indian guide, and it knocked my socks off.

You are showing it so beautifully. Thank you for these. Every morning I say sometimes, Antelope Canyon and Glen Canyon and the entire Lake Powell area call my name.
I want to go back in this very lifetime.

And thank you for your kind remarks!

The word is getting out about this remarkable site, and the crowds are growing. I lucked out with the 3 PM tour; there were only 11 of us plus our very knowledgeable guide.

He helped me and several other people get better images than we would have otherwise. It was a great time!

I hope you get to go back. It was very strenuous for me, since I am in poor shape. Plus walking in all that soft sand is difficult. But I took many pictures, so I don't need to return...

I'm jealous - I never got to the Upper Antelope Valley when I lived in Arizona.

It's funny. People generally don't visit the famous sites when they live nearby. So now that you've moved away, you must come back to visit!

I hope you can do it. The site is phenomenal.

but travel is really hard for me physically. I miss the geography of Arizona a lot.

I'm sorry. Arizona is quite an interesting place to explore.

My knees are still telling me I did too much last Monday!

I'd rent an RV and travel back to Arizona with a lot of stops on the way - particularly in New Mexico.

I truly appreciate your praise.

Well done, Miss Peggy.

I felt so lucky to be there.

Where did tou stay? Anyplace close by?

IF you can do it, go in the off season. The word has gotten out about this wonderful place, and summers are full of tourists. I was lucky in that the group I went with had only a few people. There can be hundreds in the canyon at any given time.

I also picked an off-time, 3 PM. The sun doesn't shine directly down into the canyon then, and most people want to see that. I was willing to sacrifice that option in order to have as few people around as possible, and it did pay off.

Good Luck!

and looks like a must visit location. Another benefit among many, of living in SoCal….

Alley and I have wanted to visit that site for years.

The light is just enchanting. Thanks for sharing.

canyon puppy, it's about a young man who went into Slot Canyon so far down that it was almost totally dark... and there he found a puppy that some cruel person had taken down and left. it could hardly stand up it was in such bad shape... the story is uplifting and has a happy ending!

put it on your bucket list

I had the 2:30p tour. What day were you there? It sounds as if we were very close together.

I went at the 3:00 PM tour.

We might have walked right by each other!

The lady I insisted ride in the front of the vehicle that took us back from the canyon to the waiting area? She and I talked about all the places she'd lived and how they were all very sunny and warm. Regardless, I know you and I walked by each other at some point because I was there from 1:30 to 4. I missed my 12:30p reservation due to a construction shutdown and ended up having to take the later slot. What a small world.

My guide had suggested that I ride in the cab but I could not get up those steps. So I rode in the back. It was OK.

I'm sure we did walk by one another! Small world indeed.

So beautiful.....sigh.....

The second & third are fab!

Definitely poster/art quality.

And welcome to DU, Tetris_Iguana!

and I especially enjoyed,

You being there my friend, taking in such beauty,

for you captured the amazement for all of us to truly enjoy too!

Aw.....you are such a sweetheart!

Thank you.......

I HAD to be there, even though the journey was tough for me. It was worth it!
