Description

The flowing forms of Lower Antelope Canyon near Page in Arizona are seen everywhere. One of the rock formations bears a resemblance to the head of an Indian Chief. Here, his sunken eye stares upward with mouth agape - his full profile can be seen in another image within the Desert and Canyons collection. The mind conjures up all sorts of emotions and feelings in this mystical place.

Antelope Canyon was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding and other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater runs into the vast basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways have eroded away, which has deepened the corridors and smoothed hard edges to form those wonderful "flowing" shapes.
