new peter라고 이름을 바꾸었읍니다.

앤티로프 밸리는 물과 공기 그리고 바람이 수천년동안 만들어낸
하늘이 보이는 굴( Cave ) 이라고 생각하면 됩니다.
이 굴의 폭은 배낭을 등에 메고 통과하지 못하는 좁은 지역부더
20여명이 파티를 해도 좋은 넓은 공간도 있읍니다.
태양의 빛이 굴 안으로 스며들어 인간이 상상할수 없는
아름다운 색을 만들어 주는 곳 입니다.
이 아름다운 빛을 보통 사람들은 육안으로는 볼수 없으나
카메라의 렌즈를 통해서 볼수 있읍니다.
사진을 찍을때는 튼튼한 삼각대를 사용하고 장노출을 하여야 하기 때문에
관광객이 많을때는 사진 찍기가 매우 힘듭니다.
사진의 색은 포토샵을 이용하여 인위적으로 만든것이 아닙니다.
제가 갖고온 색은 사진에 있는 색 뿐입니다.
첫번째 방문 하였을때는 관광객이 적어서 좋았지만
두번째 갔을때는 사진찍기를 포기하고
호스쇼밴드에가서 하염없이 앉아 있다가 왔읍니다.
제가 컴 실력이 없어 여러장의 사진을 올리는 방법을 몰라
물어물어 6장을 1장으로 묶으는 방법을 배워 올립니다.
그리고 제가 글실력이 없어 영문으로된 정보를 발췌하여 올립니다.
관심 있으신분은 참고가 되었으면 합니다.

*ANTELOPE CANYON
Navajo Name: Tse' bighanilini
Elevation: 4,000' at upper Antelope Canyon
Antelope Canyon is at once one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth. Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor - and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above.

It is really two separate canyons - Upper and Lower Antelope. Each contains the hidden "slots" carved from the swirling sandstone, and both drain from the south into Lake Powell (once the Colorado River). The canyons are so narrow in places that one can stretch out his or her arms and touch both sides.

The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse' bighanilini, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the streambed. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdestwazi, or "spiral rock arches." Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. Wind has also played a role in sculpting this fantastic canyon.

You must have an authorized guide to Upper and Lower areas of Antelope Canyon. You can contact one of the outfitters below, to make reservations.

*HISTORY
A long time ago, herds of pronghorn antelope roamed freely in Antelope Canyon, which explains the canyon's English name. It is not known exactly when people first discovered Antelope Canyon. According to local Navajos, who have lived here for some time, the canyon and the LeChee area were places where cattle grazed in winter.

To older Navajos, entering a place like Antelope Canyon was like entering a cathedral. They would probably pause before going in, to be in the right from of mind and prepare the protection and respect. This would also allow them to leave with an uplifted feeling of what Mother Nature has to offer, and to be in harmony with something greater than themselves. It was (and is) a spiritual experience.
