Upper Antelope Canyon  Arizona

How’s that for a blast of color on Hump day? This is high-octane stuff this morning to get you going for that last push towards the weekend. If this was tea it would be the visual equivalent of Morning Thunder. If you’re a tea drinker I’m sure you remember Morning Thunder by Celestial Seasonings. It had the picture of a buffalo galloping across the side of the box and roughly the equivalent of a 55 gallon drum of caffeine in each cup. If that didn’t crank you up you better call 911.

This is Antelope canyon, or more specifically the Upper Antelope canyon. Because of its configuration, it being contained in a high ridge, and continuing through from one side to the other, you get more light in it and more intense colors than the lower Antelope canyon.. The lower Antelope canyon is one you descend into and has a narrower opening in the ground above that let’s in less light, so you get more muted colors. It’s a physics thing, you have to go there and experience it yourself for it to make sense.

Since I didn’t have my shot of Morning Thunder this morning that’s all the science stuff I’m up to today. We’ll let the colors do the talking instead.
