The Heart of the Antelope on Flickr.
Looking up, I saw an opening in the ceiling of the upper Antelope Canyon, and the light falls perfectly, illuminating the adjoining walls, giving an illusion of a heart shaped vent carved on the rocks.

One of the darker areas in the Upper Antelope Canyon, Arizona. Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the streamed, located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

A visit to the Upper Antelope Canyon is a beautiful experience.
The canyon is made up of Navajo sandstone. The canyon was made by the erosion of this sandstone, primarily by flash flooding. When the canyon was discovered, herds of prong-horned antelope roamed the area.
I realized that photographs don’t do justice to the beauty of the canyons. This place needs to be visited in person to experience its beauty. The trip through Antelope Canyon is an easy walk on a level, sandy path.
This is a shot of the entrance from within the canyon. I visited the canyon during the end of the day, so was able to shoot a lot of pictures without getting too many people in these pictures.
