Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell

"Sunrise at Horseshoe Bend"

April 2012, Page, Arizona

Although Horseshoe Bend is not a part of Antelope Canyon, I included it my Antelope Canyon Gallery because it is only about 5 miles away. This unique bend in the mighty Colorado River is one of the most photographed spots in the southwest. Be forewarned, in order to take this shot the photographer has to be willing to perch himself on the very edge of a sheer cliff. I shot this right at sunrise, before the sunlight had a chance to reach the river 1000 feet below.
