visceral response

The following photo was taken at Lower Antelope Canyon near Page Arizona. It hangs on a wall in our house. I see the sun shining through an opening surrounded by varying shades of red rock. The yellow hues give me a feeling of warmth. The red rock is comforting, familiar, and reminds me of St. George. The dark bands in the rock create a wavy or wispy texture which provide contrast and maintain interest. The edges and shadows provide a sense of openness. I can feel the wind that created the sand dunes that eventually became rock. The intrinsic beauty is stupefying
