Upper Antelope Canyon-Page, AZ. Photographer: Angiolo Manetti

The title of this blog is the Navajo name for this place. Translation? "The place where water runs through rocks". It is a part of the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, so you can only visit by appointment. It is a sacred and holy place to the Navajo.

I love the way the light caught, giving the dust motes the appearance of a ghost taking form.

    Quoting BachelorNum3:

    Nice observation, W&W, about how the light plays off the dust motes.
Why thank you Bachelor!

 Saw this one on the Weather Channel. They said you always had to be aware of the weather forecast, when you were here, because it didn't take long for it to be flooded.

Yes, these canyons are called slot canyons. They are formed by water rushing through the rocks (most of the rock found in Antelope is Sandstone.) They are very deep and narrow.

 One does get the sense that the Spirit of the place is showing itself.
Makes me wonder if the Navajo consider it safe to meditate in such a place.
If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.

From what little I have been able to gather in my reading online, it is viewed as a sacred place, the canyons are entered with great reverence by the Navajo.

 My brother in law from New Mexico was one of those wind talkers in the Korean war.

No kidding? That is truly awesome! I met one of the original Windtalkers, he was an Apache gentleman who was at a Pow Wow in Kansas. I was enthralled by the stories he told.
