IT'S ALL ABOUT ANTELOPE CANYON!

I've been looking forward to this for weeks!  Antelope Canyon!
If you've ever seen pictures in a travel book concerning slot canyons it probably had some from Antelope.  The approach is simply a narrow grove of smooth rocks and you just walk between them and begin to descend.  This canyon had a ladder and down we went and were immediately in the slot canyon.  The walls look somewhat colored but nothing like pictures I had seen so I thought ... Oh dear, I must need a special filter to get that effect.  I set up my tripod and set  for the exposure I had anticipated I would need and took a picture.  When I looked at the result I was blown away.  Here are a few of the shots.
We felt a little rushed to get on through the canyon as our guide kept moving us along.  I could have stayed in there for hours.

Later we hiked a wash canyon that was fun too.  Very intriguing geology.
Nice hike in Cathedral Wash.  The bottom is that little pool and we had to work our way around it.

Page and Lake Powell have been a very fun place.  Very different.  Warm and pleasant.  Tomorrow we are off to Sedona.
