This was shot during our trip to Arizona. This is what the locals call the bear, can you see his head?

The Antelope slot canyons are amazing. Located near the Utah border, very often the canyons flash flood and flush out sand and smooth out the rock.

Every year the locals offer a sacrifice to continue to enter the canyon.

Truly a remarkable site.

Pretty scene often seen on DPC. This could use just a little more sharpness and a slight boost in contrast to make it really pop.

these canyons are so cool with their complex and interwoven lines - the lighting is solid and the colors are inviting

you have no idea how close i was to submitting nearly the same pic. nice shot! my main recommendation would be to crop in a lot closer to bring more focus to the bear.

I have almost this exact shot hanging in my living room! I shot this same feature during my visit there this summer. The slot canyons were one of the main reasons I wanted to make the trip out there, and I wasn't disappointed. What a remarkable place.

At first glance, this looked like a man's right leg stomping down. Excellent abstract with some great humanlike shapes.

Always a lovely scene.
