For those of you who really know me, you know I fear height to the extreme end.
Well,
I visited the Horseshoe Band in Arizona this weekend and realized that
this might be one of the best ways to "conquer fear." I climbed up to
the cliff not once, not twice, but 3 times to take the final shot (see
Picture 3).
Picture 1 shows you how steep the cliffs are to the river bank.
Picture
2 shows you how crazy some of the photographers are when it comes to
getting their shots. Look at the guy's tripod. If this is not
insanity, what is???
Picture 3 shows you
how I need to crawl up to the edge of the cliff, set up my tripod,
hold on to my camera and take the full circle shot of the "Horseshoe
Band." The image is not perfect, but the effort to challenge my fear
must be recognized. This was one of those 4 AM deals again, and I
actually made 3 separate trips to the place this weekend to take this shot!!!

Aside
from risking my life on top of those cliffs, I also tried to get down
to the deep underground canyons formed by desert flash floods... At the
bottom of the canyon, when I texted an image of the Antelope Canyon to Michelle, she texted back with a warning message saying....
Picture 1 = Rocky Mountain Sunset
Picture 2 = Desert Flash Flood
