Antelope Canyon

I was granted a perfect day for my first visit to a Colorado Plateau slot canyon with no danger of flash floods. So cloudless that I didn't even bother with sunrise that morning, saving my energy for the canyon. What the picture doesn't tell is that the canyon is always crowded at noon, lots of tour groups at the peak time. Our guide and the other photographers worked together to give everyone a chance to make the shots we wanted. Only had my tripod kicked once during an exposure. Even though my photographing time was limited, I often stepped away from the viewfinder just to take in the totality of being within the earth. I'll go back the next chance I can. The place is magical.

I think this one may very well qualify for trophy photo in my office.
