Sunset near Water Holes Canyon, Arizona

This is a very interesting area near Page, Arizona. The uplifted strata create beautiful formations that reflect the setting sun with warm glowing colors. This area is near a slot canyon called Water Holes Canyon. Not far from the highway, many of these uplifts are evident here. This is what is so unique about Arizona, the variety of rock and sandstone formations all within driving distance of Page. This kind of light does not last very long, maybe 20 minutes max. I would have liked to have photographed this area in the morning at sunrise, but it did not fit into our schedule. I'm sure that the light would have been quite different. The light at sunrise usually is a bit cooler than at sunset.
