Horseshoe Bend

Our goal at most of the places we visit is to come away with at least one picture we'd like to see on a gallery wall, or at least a wall in our home. I would say this one qualifies...at least for the wall in our home part:) This is "horseshoe bend", about a quarter mile walk off the main road just outside Page, Arizona. "Jawdropping" is an understatement when walking to the edge of this natural work of art, and when I say edge, I.... mean... EDGE! There are no safety guards or rails here which, in my opinion, makes the experience that much better. Gaby was taking no part in this shot after she heard me, over the 40 m.p.h. wind gusts, talking to myself about what I was going to have to do to get it! Needless to say, I have a newfound respect for landscape photographers. If you click on the photo to enlarge it you can see some guy's tent at the bottom third of the photo, just left of center, to get an idea of just how deep the canyon walls are. Our short video below tries to give you an idea of what it was like....emphasis on the word "tries".
