Please forgive the pun in my title. I just couldn't help myself. :D

This is a "classic" light beam shot I recently took in upper Antelope Canyon. The heart shape made by the light beam appealed to me. I hope you enjoy it. Hum...I'm thinking this image may make a nice Valentine's Day card for my wife. :wink

    Thanks a ton, Ron! I sometimes get bored with my own shots of the slot canyons, but the heart-shape made this one a little special :D

    A party piece!

    Reminds me of the grafitti : arrow-pierced heart

    On the card, did you put M on one side of the heart and your wife's initial on the other?:D

    Thanks, Neil! I haven't made up the card yet, but thanks for the idea. Of course, when I give it to her, I'll claim all credit for it. :D

    Thanks, Rocky! I actually preferred the lower canyon to the upper. Yes, there are a lot more light beams in the upper canyon, but it's sooooo crowded and the formations, to me at least, didn't seem as interesting as in the lower. I also highly recommend Rattlesnake Canyon (located between the lower and the upper), for which you'll need a guide. It's only a few hundred yards long and shallow, but the intricate details on the walls are breath-taking. If you have the time, Canyon-X is also great. Good luck! :D
