A Gate To Heaven, a photo from Arizona, West

Photographer's Note

Taken half an hour later than my previous shot from this place and I received different set of colours.

Lower Antelope Canyon
Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hasdeztwazi, or "spiral rock arches" by the Navajo, is visited much less frequently. Prior to the installation of metal stairways, visiting the canyon required climbing with ropes and ladders in certain areas. Even following the installation of stairways, it is a more difficult hike than Upper Antelope -- it is longer, narrower in spots, and even footing is not available in all areas. At the end the climb out requires several long flights of stairs.

Hello Henrik,
esthétique et délicieusement coloré, une manière de photographier cette porte naturelle qui en fait une oeuvre d'art abstraite.
Excellents jeux d'ombres et de lumières de lignes horizontales et de courbes.
Best regards.
Daniel.

It looks like a face, a face hiding from something. Looking with just one eye, shy. Great colors, love the stripes! Great shot!

Hi Henryk,

And again your photo is grabbing my attention. You have framed this canyon really well, I have seen other photos from it, and I like your tight framing which allows to concentrate on the wonderfully coloured rocks. Some object placed there that would give the sense of scale would be great, but this is good as it is.

Cheers
Alexander

Dolkadnie to co napisalem wczescniej, masz kolego super prace. Jezdzisz i robisz takie fantastyczne zdjecia i za darmo:) Co za ciekawy abstract naturalny. Zgadne, ale czy twoim idolem nie jest bycmoze Ansel Adams? Ok, Adams robil same b/w ale takie same ciekawe ujecia, takie same ciekawe zdjecia robisz ty, tylko ze w koorze. Wracajac do b/w czy probowales wersje b/w? Moge sie zalozyc ze bylaby tez bardzo ciekawa.

Hi Henryk
Encore une belle photo de cet endroit.
Joli jeu d'ombres et de lumières accompagné de magnifiques teintes.
Cadrage serré et cette ouverture au milieu, bien fait.
J'aime bien l'effet de la texture.
Joli

Oh, that is so sharp! I pine for that type of sharpness.

You have captured a beautiful area beautifully.
