Canyon de Chelly embraces nearly 84,000 acres within the Navajo reservation. While administered by the US National Park Service, these rock canyons belong to the Navajo people. Nowhere is the phrase "Indian Summer" more fitting – the temperatures for our November visit were warm, and nature's autumnal colors were virtually on fire for us. Using a 28mm wideangle lens, I moved in on the canopy to fill the upper third of the frame with the deep burnt orange color. A band of back-lighted orange and yellow leaves fills the middle third and the animated reddish brown tree trunks dominate the bottom third. If the assault of vivid color becomes too much for the eye, it can always flee to the dull brown forest floor for respite.
