every single time it rains hard!
This is why, a native guide is a must!
And, one that follows the weather reports,
because these waters rush from many miles
away, and then WOOSH!
No, absolutely No Warning!
Weather reports are paramount!

Navajo Lands © Donna Pierce-Clark
There is an area near Page, AZ,
where the slot canyons can be entered.
They are glorious!
They can be treacherous if one does not listen intently
to and follow the leading of a trained Navajo guide.
Without warning, the rivers can quickly flood these canyons.
The entrance to the slot canyons
looks a lot like Navajo Lands.

Below are several photos we took of the inside of the canyons.
Carved by the movement of water.........

Just unbelievably gorgeous!
The sun pours down through the narrow opening at the top of the canyon.

Here, you can see the back of Brian's head (white hat)
and Dennis, looking up!
A little perspective for you of the immensity of the canyon walls.

The rushing waters create and re-create these canyonsevery single time it rains hard!
This is why, a native guide is a must!
And, one that follows the weather reports,
because these waters rush from many miles
away, and then WOOSH!
No, absolutely No Warning!

DeleteI paint using oils with a palette knife, but just had my first yupo & watercolors experience today. I think they might be opposites! :) So fun! Your work is just beautiful and very inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

DeleteI certainly cannot take much credit: Whatever we paint, in whatever medium, the model is the key, and the southwest is such an amazing model!
