Santa Elena Canyon — Big Bend National Park, Texas

from $95.00

The Rio Grande flows through the heart of Santa Elena Canyon in near-perfect stillness, its surface a mirror for the towering limestone walls rising 1,500 feet on either side. This photograph was made from inside the canyon on 8×10 large format slide film — the composition nearly symmetrical, the two great cliff faces converge toward a narrow strip of blue sky at the top of the frame, the warm golden light of morning raking across stone in ochre and orange. A cathedral of geology, lit by the sun.
