Arizona in April

We found ourselves back in the beautiful state of Arizona last week and I thought I'd post a few pictures.

Here are some images of a place I have always wanted to visit -- Hasdestwazi (Lower Antelope Canyon) near Lake Powell. If you've never made the trip and crawled down into this slot canyon I highly recommend you do so someday. It's well worth the gas and entrance fee. Don't forget your tripod!

Clear skies!

And here's a shot of the Watch Tower at the Grand Canyon south rim. If you look closely you can see the waxing crescent moon (it was taken during the late afternoon on Friday). Ordinarily, I wouldn't have posted the image (it's not that special) but the inclusion of the moon seemed to fit here on Astromart.

Beautiful shots, Jerry!
The red rock seems to glow from within.
I've only been in a couple slot canyons,
and they were not nearly as nice as that.
