Taken in March 2007, this is Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River just outside of Page, Arizona. It’s located downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Photo Details: Nikon D2X w/ 12-24mm DX lens at 12mm on tripod, 1/50s at f/8 and 100 ISO. I was also using a Singh-Ray graduated neutral density filter to balance the lighter clouds and darker sandstone/river.
