Antelope Canyon - WOW!

October 18, 2008 - Saturday - Page, AZ

Yeah. This is catching up with the "gap" in blogging, so realize this happened 3 weeks ago now.

Antelope Canyon day, but we booked the 10:30AM "Photographer's Tour" - meaning that we gave ourselves time to get up late and do some email and Blogging before heading out - AND meaning that we took the longer tour specifically set up to give us time to take pictures and mess around with angles and settings and such.

The tour provider was literally across the street, so we walked over and loaded up on the modified trucks and drove out past the Power Generation station - onto Navajo land - to the Canyon.

Well. Gee.Colors, textures, awe, reverence, challenges for photography - and a great guide.Nothing can really describe it - and photos don't really even fully capture it, but try THESE.

One of our favorite stops on the whole trip. Beautiful. Inspiring. Wow.

Back to Page, AZ by 2PM, lunch, then drive out toward Hurricane, UT to set us up for Zion and Bryce Canyon - driving past Lake Powell on the way: huge, winding lake created by damming the Colorado (like many *other* lakes in the area).

Pretty landscape as we drove along - listening to our "Edgar Allen Poe's Last Days" book on CD.
Mostly just driving - and getting to Hurricane - and going out for Chinese Take-out.

Beautiful day.

4884 miles.
