Upper Antelope, but pointed at the wall rather than the floor. Here the shaft passes across the frame instead of landing in it, and the interest is what it does on its way through — grazing one face of the corridor at a shallow angle so the ribbing on the sandstone throws its own small shadows, and leaving the opposing wall lit only by what bounces back. Handheld, in the few minutes the alignment lasted.
The fine parallel lines the light is grazing are older than they look. Around 190 million years ago this was a sand sea, one of the largest dune fields in Earth's history. Each dune had a steep lee face down which sand avalanched, and every avalanche left a layer; buried and cemented, those layers survive as cross-bedding. They weather at slightly different rates, leaving a ridged surface that raking light finds and flat light would lose. Every line here is the preserved face of a dune that stood for a season.
Gallery Metal — The next generation of the metal print: printed with Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks and bonded to a rigid aluminium panel beneath a protective laminate, resolving finer detail and holding colour longer than dye-sublimation can. The modern process for images that reward close viewing. Here that keeps every cross-bedding line resolving individually across the ribbed faces, including where they run down into the shadow. Glossy adds a hard coat for scratch resistance along with the fuller colour and depth; matte is anti-glare and holds sharp detail without softening it. Both are UV-protected for long-term display.
