    This was taken in 2007 and there were only two people in the canyon, myself and my friend Dave. The operators of the canyon had to come down and tell us it was time to leave. :D

    I really like this shot. There's something organic about it, as if it were a high-res image of a knee joint, or something like that. Very cool indeed.

    Oh yeah, why does a canyon need an operator? rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks everyone!!

    One thing I discovered awhile ago is to look for pictures within pictures, and sometimes revisiting older archived images can yield nice results.

    That Canyon is on Indian lands & they manage the spot

    Some years ago French tourists were killed when there was flash flooding

    The erosion depicted is the result of that flooding

    Since then the "watchmen" clear the canyon when there is a threat of rain up canyon

    Yes on the flash flood, and on clearing the canyon. No on this particular flash flood causing the erosion we see, or why the tribe is managing the canyon.

    The geological feature we see have been created over a very long period of time. Any recent water traveling through the canyon will contribute and alter the features to some extent.

    The why is simple, whatever exits will be claimed by some entity. The entities that have the most power are called governments, hence governments own almost every thing.

    The tribal lands, Indian government, where the canyons are located charge $$ to walk through. The real reason is money. I am sure they are happy to clear the canyon if a flash flood warning is issued but they aren't gonna hang around for weeks on end for free.

    Sam

    PS: If I owned it I wouldn't let it be unattended for idiots to run through, vandalize, spray paint with graffiti, and whatever else the brain dead do. :D

    Sam, every time I look at your landscape and nature photos, I'm just blown away. This one is outstanding. I love all of the layers, the gently swaying lines, and a little subtle ambiguity in the subject itself. Great light, great post, great everything, as usual my friend.

    Nice shot and I agree with your statement, lately I have been doing quite a bit of that.
