In Arizona, there are vast areas of desert.  That's obvious.  There are  also what look to be mounds of rocks that appear innocuous.  No big deal.   We are on the shuttle bus from the local town with about 15 other people.  It's hot, dry, dusty.  Gab, gab, gab.  Where are you from?  Do you like it there?  And so on.... 

There's our destination.  In the middle of nowhere, we exit the bus.  Ugh, dry dust all around.  This looks anything but exciting.  If what the photographs show of this place even approach the truth, it's worth the trip....to the middle of nowhere... 

Okay, walk through here.  Wow, it's a slit in the rocks.  No, more of a slot in the rocks.  Take your pick.  Take a peek!  It's sort of cavernous in a small way.  Look up, you can see sunlight.  Our guide shows us to kick up a bit of dust and the shaft of light becomes magical as the sun catches the bits of dust, very eerie, very, very pretty. 

This sandstone is all worn down from water dripping, and becomes abstracted.  You can see various layers of color, no straight lines, and it's blissful to attempt to paint it. 

You are in Antelope Canyon in Arizona.  Unlike any other place that I've seen.  Fragile, beautiful, inspirational, ancient.  Enjoy yourself.
