colorado river

Marble Canyon near Page, Arizona, is home to the Colorado River.

We walked to the Navajo Bridge from our hotel and took a few photos, including this one. I love how dark the water is and the reflection of the canyon walls. I think it contrasts nicely with the bright blue sky and orange-ish rocks.

I also like the layers. You have the sky, distant cliffs, then the canyon and river. I would love to go back and shoot this same spot during sunrise or sunset instead of mid-day. I think it would help with the shadows in the canyon and river. I still love this photo, but we can always find ways to improve.

Have you been to Page? If so, what was your favorite thing to see? I know Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are the big draws, but I urge you to look around and find the other gems, like Navajo Bridge. We were the only ones there, and it was quite beautiful and peaceful.
