I’ve never seen lava up close or in person for that matter. However, some of these slot canyons surely come close with how vibrant and red they can turn with the light. The glowing red walls of these canyons often remind me of that extremely hot stuff found in volcanoes. This one was no exception. In fact, I cant recall seeing such vibrant reds on a canyon wall before, and I have seen a ton of red rocks. While it was surely impressive to see, it actually made it rather difficult to photograph as my camera is rather sensitive to extreme reds. I was able to tame some of the burn in most of the images, but in others, it was a bit more difficult. Not to mention that it was actually a little more natural when it was much more vibrant. I still can’t get enough of these canyons, and hope to explore even more of them in the future. I have a handful from my recent wanderings to share over the coming months, but I will try to switch things up every now and then. Enjoy!
