Zion Narrows Sandstone Wall Fine Art Paper Print

from $76.00

Late afternoon in The Narrows, where the North Fork of the Virgin River has cut a slot through Zion's sandstone over millions of years, leaving walls that rise a thousand feet and more. At this hour the sun no longer reaches the canyon floor; the light here is reflected — bounced off the sunlit rim above and thrown back down the walls, which is what gives the stone its inner glow.

Reaching this stretch means wading upriver, camera and tripod through moving water, with no dry route in. The long exposure smooths the current into a dark ribbon at the base, setting the river's motion against the stillness of rock that has stood for millennia.

Fine Art Paper — Canson Platine Fibre Rag suits the tonal range here, its lustre surface and deep blacks holding the shadowed recesses without losing the glow above. Canson Arches BFK Rives White gives a softer matte reading; Moab Silver Metallic accentuates contrast and lends the reflected light a pearlescent shimmer. Prints are trimmed borderless at the stated size. 8x12 inches and smaller ship flat; larger sizes ship rolled, and are supplied unframed.

Every fine art paper print carries a 1-inch white border for handling and framing, added outside the image dimensions shown. The exception is the largest size in each aspect ratio, where the paper is already at its maximum width: those are printed borderless, edge to edge at the size shown.

Also available in: Standard Acrylic version · TruLife Acrylic version · ChromaLuxe Metal version · Gallery Metal version

Made to order · Allow 1–2 weeks for production and delivery · Shipping charged at cost, never marked up · Shipping & Returns
