There are graceful curves every where you look in Antelope Canyon. You look up, crouch down, zoom in, zoom out, it's endless. Special thanks to Mark, whom I met in Zion, then ran into again at Horseshoe Bend. He convinced me to shoot Antelope Canyon again in a different light.

Dead Branch and Curves

Saw this in a remote corner at The Wave. The rock walls are glowing red from light bouncing off the opposing wall.

The Wave

One of the prettiest places in the world that I've been to. The lines and the curves are out of this world.

This is located on the border of AZ and UT. To get in, you have to apply for a permit. Only 20 people are allowed in a day. The permit is a lottery 3 month in advance, and only 10 slots are available online. If you enter without a permit, I think it's a $500 fine per person. Rangers do check!

We felt very fortunate to have gotten the permit. Some people took 4 tries to get the lottery! The trouble is worth the view though. I'd do it again in a heart beat!

Converging lines at The Wave. If I were a kid, I would totally play with some big wheels and pretend these are roller coaster tracks.

I think one of the hardest thing to do at The Wave was trying to leave. We met this couple from Colorado as we entered The Wave, and they were just about to leave. 2 hours later, they were still there. They were still there, trying to leave, after we left. LOL

A more zoomed in view of The Wave. Every where you look, there are lines, it's beautiful here!
