The beautiful colours of Antelope Canyon, Arizona, Western United States of America
Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, mostly due to flash flooding and less due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially flash flooding caused by thunder-storms, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form beautifully coloured artistic shapes in the rock walls

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Antelope Canyon in Arizona, Western United States of America. Formed by the relentless forces of erosion on Navajo Sandstone, this natural wonder is a testament to the power and artistry of nature. The canyon's unique formation can be attributed mainly to flash flooding caused by thunderstorms, which carries rainwater into the basin above and rushes it through narrow passageways with incredible speed, carrying sand along its path. Over time, these rushing waters have sculpted and deepened the corridors of Antelope Canyon, creating smooth curves and captivating shapes that adorn its walls. What truly sets this place apart are the vibrant colors that dance across every surface - a result of light filtering through layers of rock formations. In this particular photograph taken by Southern Lightscapes-Australia, we witness the sheer magnificence of Upper Antelope Canyon. With no human presence in sight, we are able to fully immerse ourselves in nature's masterpiece. The vivid hues juxtaposed against each other create an ethereal atmosphere that transports us into another world entirely. Antelope Canyon stands as a testament to both Earth's raw power and its artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh conditions and constant change, true beauty can emerge from within our planet's very core. This stunning image invites us to marvel at nature's ability to shape landscapes into works of art worthy of admiration for generations to come.
