Antelope Canyon
Remember me? I used to go out hiking, spending quiet time in nature, capturing what I felt with my camera. I would then share these images with friends in a monthly blog post along with a sometimes humorous anecdote. Alas, that was before I succumbed to a pickleball addiction. I haven't sent out a new image in several months - only the second time I've missed a monthly post in nine years! And, to show how harmful this addiction is, it has spread to my wife too! Now we are both battling it! Maybe as the cold weather approaches it will ease up and I will get the chance to once again go out into nature and create some meaningful images. Fingers crossed.
In late October, Marilyn and I took a break from pickleball and went to Sedona with friends. This was a repeat visit to red rock country and it was a very enjoyable week - beautiful weather, great hiking, nice meals, and we attended the annual Plein Air Painting festival. We even did a couple side trips.
One excursion was a trip to Page Arizona to visit the slot canyons... Antelope Canyon to be exact. These slot canyons are incredible things to see. They are areas of Navajo sandstone eroded by flash floods and wind into twisted, multi-colored shapes. As the sun passes overhead, the light changes and the eroded canyons change constantly. Marilyn and I had been there seventeen years ago with our daughters. And while the canyons remained the same, the time certainly brought changes. It seems the crowds of people who discovered our National Parks and outdoor areas during Covid are still visiting these places... I wish they'd go back to their sofas and TV's so we can enjoy the outdoors with a little less crowds! :)
It feels good to share a new image with you all. Hopefully more good images to come as I get back out into the land with my camera.
