Horseshoe Bend


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend
Just south of Page, AZ, the Colorado River makes this marvelous bend (I learned it is called an entrenched meander.)
I never seem to catch "sun rays" when I want them, so to have them appear in the image was a pleasant surprise!
4/13 Second Place - N&L
Featured, Snapshot #632, 6/12/13

  Thanks, Martha! I have one or two more that I like as well - but only this one included a bank of that warmly lit foreground stone.

  Thanks, Linda---dunno how I lucked out with the rays on this!
The trip was great fun - exhausting, and 2,000 miles of driving once there, but fantastic to see all these different places at last! Makes me want to bump Yosemite up on the list, now!
