Unusual places

Do you want to see one of the most photographed places in the world and its extraordinary natural beauty for yourself but not in the numerous pictures from the Internet? If yes, then you should go to Antelope Canyon which is located near the city of Page in Arizona bordering the state of Utah on the Navajo Nation reservation. This place is located almost two and a half hundred kilometers from the famous Grand Canyon. What is in common between the gorge and the graceful animal? After all, there are definitely no antelopes in these places. It turns out that it is all about velvety red rocks which, because of their color and structure, resemble skins of these beautiful animals. Antelope Canyon is divided into the Upper and the Lower, both of which can only be visited as part of an organized group with a guide. Otherwise, a fascinating exploration of this stunning place may cost you your life. It is almost always dry and safe there, but during the rainy season, the situation changes dramatically. There were cases when whole groups of people were killed in the gorge due to a sudden flow of water. The Upper canyon received a poetic name from the indigenous population which is «the place where water runs through the rocks». The name explains how this miracle of nature appeared. It is more popular among tourists as it is easier to get there. To enjoy the beauty of the lower canyon you will have to go down the stairs, and during the tour, you will have to overcome several obstacles. A visit to Antelope Canyon is a walk through amazing stone corridors with fancy sandstone walls where the sunlight penetrates. No wonder this place is so popular among photographers: unusual shapes, interesting lighting, numerous shades, unexpected angles, and professional camera settings create real modern artworks. You can also take impressive photos, even if you are not good at it: the guide will tell you the best places to shoot and help you to set up your equipment.
