Near the Entrance of the Upper Antelope Canyon

Near the entrance of the Upper Antelope Canyon, in Page, Arizona. The canyon walls have an incredible texture from the layers of collected sediment over millions of years and the shapes of the Navajo Sandstone were carved by the flash flooding of the seasonal rains. I think this area is one of the most unusual places on this earth.
