This will be my final posting in the series. Antelope Canyon. My first posting Antelope Canyon a Slot Canyon drew 238 viewers. My last post (#6) had only 39 viewers,. I am grateful to all of you very loyal viewers and I hope that you have enjoyed this walk with me through one of the most beautiful areas in the southwest. I encourage all of you to make this trip once in your lifetime. This closing image is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. I have titled it " Light At The End of the Tunnel" As I came to this final bend in the canyon it lifted my spirits to another plateau. I hope that I have captured it as I had meant to. That there is always hope and promise of better things, around the corner. My deepest thanks to all of you.

Let me say that I have enjoyed this series immensely and I am grateful that you were willing to share the images of this wonderful place. You have captured the essence of what it would be like to be there. Some may not realize the effort it took to capture this images but I can say from experience it was no easy task. Once again Thank you!

As I view this image I get an urge to go exploring through the cave system. The columns of colour are quite unique to my eyes and totally fascinating. The entire series has been a treat to view but I think you saved the best one till last Bob.

Hi. Views can go up quickly in a matter of days. I'd give these last few some time. It has been a unique and well presented series of images. All well suited for wallpaper as well. I'm still stuck on #4 as my fav. I can, however, see from a photography standpoint why you chose this as your best to end the series on. :) Well done.

Robert, I can see why this is your favorite...the light contrasting with the dark recesses is captivating and I love your title...as I don't have the time to put a comment on each image right at the moment, let me just say, I have taken a look at all of them and find the series to be outstanding...not just visually but also the 'feeling' inside each one...the mystery and awe of it all...thank you once again for taking us to such special places.:Pat.

I am sad that our journey through this lovely canyon is ending. It was an AMAZING journey, and I thank you for bringing me along for the ride. I have all of your wonderful images, and I hope that one day, you post these beautiful photos in a gallery somewhere. I have given you 10/10 thru the series, but that said...10 is too low a number for such a great trip...so I would like you to have an 8...for the amount of zero's behind your 10's. Thank you for the series, thank you for the journey.

Words seem so very inadequate at this point ..... You have captured the essence of something Greater then us so splendidly. The arches, the colors, the lighting..none of this was made by man. I am remembering the few canyons I have been in and the dissappointment I have felt when it is time to leave..I feel the same now. I want to stay and absorb some of the energy and power. I want to watch as other's 'round a curve and see their eyes light up as mine did. You have graced all of us with this series Bob. I am truly humbled, not only by your work, but by your humility. As said before, this series touched my heart & for that I am eternally grateful my friend :~) Thank you for all the hard work you did to capture, frame & present this wonderous gift <3
I have put this on my desktop where it remain for me to feast my eyes upon.

Ok, now this is my favorite. So many new colors as the light changes, and I love the off center goal with the large smooth expanse on the left. You've brought us a spiritual place and I thank you.

What? That's it? Aww man...I just found this series! I blame the end of the semester for my having found these photos after everyone else. Although only 64 people have looked at this picture at the time I'm commenting, it seems as if all 64 have commented :-P Ok, not all 64, but all of your Antelope Canyon series has generated more positive comments than I've seen on most pictures on here (including my own), so that has to count for something. You've done a great job, my friend. Now, as asked by one of the comments on one of your other Antelope Canyon photos: when is your first book coming out? :):)

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

It's a 10, it's now a favorite, and I have no idea how you are able to take pictures like this. I'm still going through them, but this one had so many colors and depths, I couldn't resist jumping ahead to the end. The only thing more impressive than your ability to capture the beauty and mood of the place, is God's ability to create the beauty you are capturing. wow...

Such amazing colours! and amazing shot. Though I think this image would be better borderless because the dark shadows make a naturall border. Can you see my point?
Any chance of another upload? Because this is so beautiful.
