Antelope Canyon
By Christine and Jessica
ANTELOPE CANYON
A ravine of natural beauty, and an extraordinary colourful iron-rich sandstone in a rusty orange-red array of pinks and purples beautifully swirled into each other. The exotic, but stunning attraction is located in the warm regions near the border of Arizona and Utah, USA.
UNIQUE FEATURES
The deeper you travel through its colourful walls, the more it unveils a new world of striking angles and contrasts. The intensity of the colours continue to form into a ravishing piece of cool artwork, as the sun's shadows move gradually across the canyon daily.

The saguaro plant is a massive treelike cactus, which owns a unique thick-branched trunk, scattered with white flowers and delicious edible, pulp red fruit. They are formed to adapt and survive in warm conditions without water for a long period of time.
