Antelope Canyon

Upper Antelope Canyon in late August, with a sunbeam dropping through a gap in the rim and fine sand pouring down the walls into the light. Guides toss sand into the beams so the shafts show up on camera, which is why the falling streams look so solid here. This is the view most people book Upper for. The beams depend on a high sun, so they belong to the summer months around midday and fade out as the sun drops lower in fall.
