Horseshoe Bend, Colorado River, near Page, Arizona<br />
<br />
The only way to get the whole bend and both river banks is to lie down on the edge of the 1000 foot drop and hold the camera out.  Fortunately I have good balance and am not afraid of heights. In 2010 a tourist went over the edge to his death when the ledge gave way.<br />
<br />
Another photo of Horseshoe Bend from a different angle, and some photos from the inside of a slot canyon, can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/NuiERU">http://goo.gl/NuiERU</a><br />

  • Big landscape, tiny photographer<br />
<br />
The photographer with a tripod, in the center of the photo (best largest), taking a shot of the Colorado River, looks tiny in the sheer  immensity of the landscape below the Glen Canyon Dam.<br />

  • 'V' or 'W' for alphabet day<br />
<br />
This fossilized dinosaur footprint could make either a couple of 'Vs' or a 'W' (for next week).  It's an interesting optical illusion that, depending how you look at it, the footprint can look like its raised above the surface of its surroundings, or depressed.  It is actually a depression filled with water.<br />

  • Colorado River at Horseshoe bend, near Page, Arizona
  • Canyon X #3, Navajo reservation, Arizona<br />
<br />
Canyon X is a slot canyon on private land on the Navajo Reservation and since access is restricted it is possible to photograph there with a tripod without a lot of other tourist tripping over you, unlike the more famous Antelope Canyon.  The canyon is very narrow and the lighting down in the canyon and the shapes and curves of the rocks are magical.
