Zion National Park is a national park located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon 15 miles long and up to half a mile deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. I was in Zion for only one day on my trip to the US, but it is the place where I want to go again.

Antelope Canyon – The Photographer’s Dream
by admin on Apr.30, 2010, under travelling
Are you looking for the place of your photographic dreams? Visit Antelope Canyon. You can walk for hours and take hundreds of great photos. This place is just amazing for every photographer. The rocks are changing from hour to hour with the changing light. Antelope Canyon is at once one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth. Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor – and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above.
A long time ago, herds of pronghorn antelope roamed freely in Antelope Canyon, which explains the canyon’s English name. It is not known exactly when people first discovered Antelope Canyon. According to local Navajos, who have lived here for some time, the canyon and the LeChee area were places where cattle grazed in winter.
To older Navajos, entering a place like Antelope Canyon was like entering a cathedral. They would probably pause before going in, to be in the right from of mind and prepare the protection and respect. This would also allow them to leave with an uplifted feeling of what Mother Nature has to offer, and to be in harmony with something greater than themselves. It was (and is) a spiritual experience.
Antelope Canyon is definitely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Try to visit it and take some photos. You’ll need your tripod!
