      Antelope Canyon is one of the best-known and most-photographed slot canyons in the world. Located in northern Arizona, the canyon was formed by the erosion of the soft sandstone for millions of years, mainly due to flash flooding and secondly to the wind. The canyon used to be the habitat of wild antelopes, so it was named after the antelopes. Antelope Canyon includes two separate slot canyon sections Upper Antelope Canyon (or “the Crack”) and Lower Antelope Canyon (or “the Corkscrew”). The natural light shines through the crack onto the red sandstone. Since the light changes constantly, the color varies from season to season, even from hour to hour, from angle to angle; visitors are drowned inthese kaleidoscopic colors.

      Here is a place full of colors and shapes. Only during a short period of time at noon is the sunlight able to beam through the cracks and drench the canyon. The rocks under the light glow dreamily as the light constantly changes. A river of lights and colors runs through the canyon.

      The canyon is so narrow that the visitors need to wait in lines to explore it. Since our bus could only stay for thirty minutes, we had scarce time for photographs. The inside of the canyon was very dark, yet, withthe light from the outside shining on the red stones, I felt enchanted.

      羚羊峡谷,是世界上著名的狭缝型峡谷之一，也是知名的摄影景点。其位于美国亚利桑纳州北方，是柔软的砂岩经过百万年的各种侵蚀力所形成。主要是暴洪的侵蚀，其次则是风蚀。这里过去是野羚羊的栖息处，因峡谷里常有野羚羊出没而得名。狭缝型峡谷分为两个独立的部分，也就是上，下羚羊峡谷。上羚羊峡谷亦称“裂纹” 而下羚羊峡谷则称作“螺旋” 。光线完全是自然光通过不同深度的红色岩层缝隙的折射射入洞内的，因此光线时刻在变化，一年四季，甚至每天不同的时间，不同的角度看到的色彩都不同，置身其中，真似进入了一个五彩缤纷魔幻世界，令人终身难忘。
