Just for Fun No C&C will be given: Mystical canyon on an Indian Reserve … explosion of colors

One of the photographs of my last trip in the USA, it is very representative of the bright colors that you can find in this enchanting American canyon. It is under ground, the light comes only a few hours correctly enlighten these rocks formed by flood waters …

This area releases a true magic raised by the mystical character of the place because it is on the territory of the Navajo Indians.

A good tripod and a lot of patience are important in this kind of very exiguous places!

Jobe,

I like that you share a view which is not on every postcard of the area. At least to me this is original and here the stone evokes feelings of water and movement. That it goes down from left to right, (and still works), so well must be related to the underlying buttressing of the image by our memories and probably hard-wired reaction to flowing water, one of the essential forces behind our survival. I hope you will add more pictures from this trip. I'm impressed. Is this a crop?

Jobe,

By "crop" I meant, "Was this part of a larger photograph?" IOW, how did you make the picture?

This second one is equally interesting. I see you resist the temptation to over sharpen. That's good. The color changes from orange-sand colored to violet-purple is fascinating. I wonder whether that is some issue of color of shadows or the composition of rock? Since the layers in the rock are continuous from the horizontal orange part to the vertical purple part, I wonder what is going on?
