Three Beams, Antelope Canyon, Arizona

Three vibrant shafts of light appear in a narrow passage in Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon carved by violent flash floods in Page, Arizona. The beams form only when the sun is nearly overhead, lighting up the blowing sand that fills the canyon, which is dozens of feet deep. The Navajo people call the canyon Tsé bighánílíní dóó Hazdistazí, which means "the place where water runs through rocks."
