Here the red rock of the northwestern corner of the Navajo Nation was pulverized into sand by the action of wind, water, sun and cold. The red sand flows here over a water-shaped bench, having blown into the darkness of a narrow canyon, called a slot.
I waited in the dry darkness of upper Antelope Canyon for the perfect moment to capture the spirit of the place.

I never really thought about the idea of a “sandfall” but that is exactly what it is. Nice images of it.

Flash floods through the canyon wash the sands out so it does not build up.
