Cave of Wonders--Marooned part 2

Here are the long promised photos from my experience at Antelope Canyon near Lake Powell. Actually the mouth of the canyon is in Lake Powell and ends somewhere out in the desert in the Navajo Nation. The slot canyon we visited is about in the middle of the canyon. The 'tour bus' was an open air ride in the back of a big truck fitted with wooden benches. The slot canyon was an amazing experience well worth repeating. I took a couple of hundred pictures, so narrowing it down to these few has been very difficult. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!
Our tour group approaches the mouth of the slot canyon. I fancied I could see the profile of a pharaoh's head on the right side speaking to Horus, in his falcon form, on the left.

This is just inside the entrance. For the most part, the sunlight came from above, but also peaked in at odd angles along the sides.

Our guide called this the 'Wheel of Fire'

The varying textures in the stone fascinated me. Vertebrae in a backbone?

This wall of stone appeared to be a curtain waving in the breeze. Check out the pattern woven into the 'cloth' stone.

So close.

The cavern had a surreal dusk-like quality and changed from moment to moment.

Yes, this picture is the same place as the one above it and I oops and it is motion blurred. I love it. Somehow, it captured the feeling of movement one feels in the stone itself.

A captive.

A cresting wave.

Prelude.
