Antelope Canyons in Arizona.
In the deserts of Colorado Plateau, carved in sandstone by flash flood's rushing waters during summer storms are legendary Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons.
Treasured by Navajo People for hundreds of years, and mesmerizing to everyone else who gets to see them today.
Sand, water and light . Truly one of a kind collaboration.
Images shot in a stack of 3 different exposures with intention to get precise contour sharpness and light clarity from front to back.
