People caught in Light beam in Upper Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone
People caught in Light beam in Upper Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding where during monsoon season, rainwater runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic flowing shapes in the rock

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In a breathtaking moment frozen in time, a group of lucky adventurers find themselves caught within an ethereal beam of light as they venture through the mystical Upper Antelope Canyon. This awe-inspiring phenomenon is not just a mere coincidence but rather nature's artistic masterpiece crafted over centuries. As flash floods ravage the region during monsoon season, rainwater rushes into the basin above these slot canyon sections with incredible force. Carrying along sand particles, it carves its way through narrow passageways, eroding Navajo Sandstone and shaping corridors that seem to flow like molten rock. The result? A mesmerizing labyrinth adorned with smooth curves and captivating shapes that beckon explorers from all corners of the world. And when sunlight pierces through cracks high above, casting radiant beams upon those fortunate enough to witness this spectacle firsthand, time stands still. These brave souls become part of an enchanting dance between light and stone – their silhouettes bathed in golden hues against ancient walls that whisper tales of geological wonders. With each step taken deeper into this natural wonderland, anticipation grows as new secrets are unveiled around every corner. So let your imagination run wild as you gaze at this extraordinary photograph captured by David Hosking. Feel yourself being transported to a realm where nature reigns supreme – where rocks come alive with vibrant energy and ordinary people become dreamlike figures embraced by Mother Earth
