Description
Sunlight shines down into the flowing forms of Lower Antelope Canyon near Page in Arizona, and lights up sandstone dust in the air. It's an extraordinary feeling to be walking through a canyon like this knowing that the wavy shapes have all been created by water rushing though during flooding times.
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.
