Day 13: Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon

Antelope Canyon - Detail

At 11:30 we had an appointment for a photography tour of the Antelope Canyon. A Navajo guide is the only way to visit this marvellous slot canyon in the desert south of Page, AZ. We were very lucky to have a guide who was very knowledgeable of the canyon and had a background in photography.

Unfortunately I had only one tripod with me, but Yasuko surprised me with one really good sequence of details of the walls of the canyon and some really creative and unique compositions like the following.

After the Antelope we drove south to the Grand Canyon. All afternoon long we drove across some really beautiful places in Arizona which under normal circumstances we would have probably stopped to take pictures of, but after the Antelope overload of beauty nothing can amaze one’s eyes anymore.

Nonetheless, the Grand Canyon did not disappoint us. We stopped at a couple of overlook points along the South Rim and then we saw this gorgeous sunset forming in front of our eyes and we had to stop to enjoy it to the last ray of light.
