On Edge

Once again perfecting my skills at near death experiences LOL
Different view of Horseshoe Bend :)

Bend in the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Lake Powell and Glen Canyon in Arizona, USA.

Spent sunset in this glorious spot along with millions of sand flies & mozzies LOL

Shot laying on tummy hanging over the edge with wide angle :)
