Sunbeam in Antelope Canyon

The is probably the coolest thing about being in Antelope Canyon……the sun beams. It only happens in the middle part of the year, when the sun gets high enough to stream directly into the canyon. And….truth be told, it doesn’t just suddenly show up, like in those old Charlton Helston Moses movie. It takes a Navajo guide with a shovel full of sand. He throws it into the air, the light reflects off the sand particles…… and suddenly the light beam appears. Actually, a photo like this sold recently for $6.5 million bucks because the falling sand looked like a human figure. So, if anyone out there can photoshop this into Donald Trump’s face, or something like that, I’ll spilt the 6 Mil with you.
