Energy
Antelope-Corkscrew Canyon, shows a powerful ray of light coming through the cavern top and illuminating the cave walls in brilliant orange-reddish colors. Antelope Canyon is so unique, it has also become known as The Corkscrew, Corkscrew Canyon, Upper Antelope, Wind Cave, or The Crack.
Upper Corkscrew Canyon is located around the Navajo Reservations and usually requires a jeep to get you there. This location is just outside Page, Arizona.
Photograph information:
I used a Canon Elan with a 20mm lens and negative film.
This image was taken inside the cave with a 45 second time exposure to account for reciprocity failure.

steveberlin replied
Hi Sandra… First thank you for the comment and yes, you gotta get down to Page and check out both Lake Powell and this slot canyon. It really is a great little place to explore :)
Patricia Montg...
This is such an awesome capture! I can’t wait until we make our next trip out near Page. I really want to hike in and see this (and take photos, of course!) Are there still a limited number of passes distributed each day? I realize that I commented earlier on this one but it is so beautiful that I felt compelled to comment again! LOL!
steveberlin replied
hehe, many thanks Pat. I believe there are two passes issued each day.. One for a a couple hours and one for like 6 hours or so. I also think you can find other ways to get in, but you might want to contact the Page Chamber of Commerce and ask. I forget :)

Stzar
oh that’s alright ~ a lot of times i don’t do it either LOL
i use the languages keyboard and select German for the umlat
the only reason i do it is because that is how my name
is pronounced ( ö as in Mötley Crue),
and so often people spell my name with an e : ))
i like it the way you spelled it just fine !!

Philip Johnson
great shot, have you thought of adding it to National Parks of the World group?
steveberlin replied
It is not in a national park Philip. I have seen others do this, but it is actually part of Navajo land and might be part of Glen Canyon Recreational territories/Lake Powell surrounding areas of which neither is National Park. Is there something I am missing hehe, like I normally am? :)
Philip Johnson
well actually we look after , provincial, state, world heritage areas , private parks, refuges, sanctuaries etc etc i am sure we can include navajo and other lands
Qba from Poland
Marvelous light and tones… beautiful shot !
steveberlin replied
Thanks Oba! Also, I went ahead and added this into National Parks. Thanks Philip!

BleuRaven
so incredibly beautiful and so full of energy reminds me of birth
i have never seen such a magnificent formation. it appears from a geological viewpoint there is a tremendous amount of pressure and water scars on these beautiful caverns
do you have some more history on how these amazing formations evolved
steveberlin replied
Wow, quite a nice review there Karon!! I really appreciate it. As for the geology, you can always google “corkscrew canyon” or “antelope canyon” + “lake powell” and you should be able to find a ton of info there. I also have another image called “the crack” which has some info on it as well. Thanks again.
Joyce Dickens,...
