Description
The light was so beautiful in the narrows today. Wading up river was well worth it once I hit this spot in the hike. I looked back to see the light playing a wonderful trick against the red wall, illuminating the entire passage beyond where I was standing.The narrows actually supports an abundance of plant life. The sandstone actually 'absorbs' water over the years and the many walls are dripping with water. If you look throughout the picture you can find many plants poking their way out of random spots along the rock.
Very little was done in editing this -- this is nature showing her true colors.

Very well executed, did you do the full trip from top to bottom?
π: 0 β©: 1
I did not actually. I hiked a pretty long ways because I took the Y curve to the right for a long time then came back and went this way. It was great though. I'd like to do the whole thing one day.

It worked very well - was very hot!

But you were in the water right? Or not this time?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah you're practically always in the water there. Feels great -- but it's still hot when you get out or are in the sunny parts of the narrows.

Great shot as always.

Very stylish composition here with the perspective and colors. Beautiful light indeed.
There's a lot of cool places with narrow passages like that, when the lights hit it good, click!
