Antelope Canyon, 2018.

As we took a tour through the much-talked about Antelope Canyon in AZ, I learned a new and beautiful past and present about it that speaks louder than the lights that flow in through its beautiful, smooth, twisted, and narrow yet simultaneously cavernous walls. The story of the Navajo nation that fought for their land, their rights and their beautiful and peaceful existence, and of the antelopes that used to migrate through its winding passages, trying to survive in the frigid weathers.

This photo shows all of the love, from my heart, to the canyon, to the wildlife, to the Navajos, to all of the beautiful people in our nation, regardless of color, or creed. Love conquers all; we stand united with love.

This is my first time submitting something to a contest. I have been an avid photography fan, taking some classes in college as electives, an have always loved it as an art form, a beautiful still life of life, captured, frozen for a perfect moment in time. I truly believe that photography captures our emotions, nature, and life as it passes by us, before it is gone in a fleeting moment, to bring joy to us as a human race, regardless of any moment in time.
