Images from the slot canyon grace magazine covers, screen savers, and all kinds of media. The detail of the place really spoke to me.

I find that when light slices across landscape helping to reveal the grit and structure of a place, there are B&W images to be made. This is especially true when there is an overwhelmingly dominant color that tends to steal our ability to see the truth of a place. Deep forests, rolling oceans, snowy expanses, and desert canyons all hide their clarity of line and shape in blankets of color.

Easily could be a microscopic photo of vinyl groves. Gorgeous shot.

How would it sound?

I’m going to say it sounds like a violin solo that captures the interplay between tectonic shift and environmental erosion.

Unreal experience.
Just no way to explain the beauty.

Yes. Beautiful. Yes unreal. But I think understanding geology, sedimentary deposition, erosion forces, and how light interacts with our atmosphere and landscape only deepens my appreciation.

Not only is it a great picture, but going B&W on Antelope Canyon of all places is one ballsy move.
