Upper Antelope Canyon, Arizona
High on the Colorado plateau, in the middle of the desert, on the Navajo Tribal land, there is a canyon, where water runs through rocks. It is located near the town of Page, at the northern boundary of Arizona. The Navajo name for this place is Tse Bighanilini and it is commonly known simply as the Upper Antelope Canyon. The canyon was formed by erosion of the Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to the occasional torrent of flash floods and aided winds. It is this process that gives the rock a characteristic ‘flowing’ shape and wave patterns. It a magical place where the sunlight gives birth to colours. The Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon. It encloses a high and narrow space, like a medieval cathedral. Inside the canyon it is filled by reflected and diffused colour lights like the stained glass windows inside a cathedral. It is the nature’s version of the medieval cathedral.

The minerals that make up the Canyon give it the breathtaking color ribbons that are strewn across the surface.

Bryce Canyon, Utah, US
Bryce Canyon is a National Park located in the Southeast corner of the state of Utah. The park consists of a series of view of natural amphitheatres, along the eastern edge of a plateau. Each amphitheatre includes thousands of carved pinnacles in brilliant red colour. These pinnacles are called hoodoos shaped by millions of years of wind, water and geologic upheavals. This slideshow shows you a very brief look at the different parts of the National Park and sketches the geological forces that shaped the canyon that we see today. This is part of a series on US National Parks, including Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and Antelope canyon.
