A few weeks ago I posted a question here regarding the Golden Cathedral in Neon Canyon. I would like to thank everyone for their input and below is a photo of said subject.

I took a bit of a scenic route to Neon but made it none the less. If you are interested you can see the other photos from the trip here.

Enjoy and thanks again

Nice collection you got there Andy. That Bluebonnets on the railroad was something a little different.

Wow, an interesting and somewhat optically confusing image. Amazing colors of the rocks.

Nice collection.
Was there water at the entrance of Zebra Canyon?

Thanks all for the comments. All in all it was a pretty good trip, though I am fairly disappointed in my shots from Upper Antelope Canyon. This was my first time there an I have always heard that it was a zoo, but I was not prepared for that! I was always trying to get out of others way, constantly rushed and really didnt have time to put much thought into compositions. All that and I apparently beat the summer rush.....no thanks! I would like to go back again at some point in the future though.

John, there was no water in Zebra when I was there. The only water I found was in the pot holes past the striped part of the canyon. Very cool place, wouldnt mind going back there too!

Andy,
Lower antelope is a much better experience. They usually let you stay in there as long as you want, especially off season. You'll have a few groups come through but nothing like upper. Plenty of time to shoot large format or take your time with digital.

Nice collection. I really like your Bluebonnet shots.

If you stare at this image long enough you start seeing all kinds of images within. Cool! And as others have stated, nice collection.

Thanks all for the comments. The bluebonnet shots are a bit different from what you guys are used to for sure. The move to Texas has been a hard one for sure. I think it would be tough no matter what, but when you move from Utah to Texas is makes it worse!
