Antelope Canyon

It was a windy day in the Slot Canyons which proved to be beneficial as the sand that was blowing in from the top created the shaft of light. The wind also proved to be detrimental as five minutes after making the photo, everyone was chased out of the canyon due to the windy conditions.
