I've always wanted to get a shot of Horseshoe Bend by Page Arizona. Yesterday was the day. Then about an hour later the transmission in my old trusted truck let go and had to be towed to Flagstaff. The highs and lows of picture taking.

Not only that, the sun wasn't quite right for the shot.

Yeah, I didn't have time to wait for the sun, I was on a hurried mission.

I think the truck was jealous and took it out on the cameraman. Water in the river is really down....
BTW, how is it? Back on the road?

Nice photo on the bend.

It's a great shot of an amazing spot. Just yesterday we say a similar shot on TV and my sister asked where that was. Thanks to UHHers like you, I knew the answer! The vehicle problem is unfortunate but it probably would have happened somewhere else and at least this way you have something to treasure from the outing.

I broke down just north of the Tuba City turnoff. 80 mile tow, $325.

I love Horseshoe Bend. Unfortunately, I didn't have the courage to hang over the edge to get the iconic shot! I was told they had put up a barrier at the edge. But your image doesn't look like it.

There is a small fence, but mostly you're on your own. I got more shots hanging over the edge, this was close with my cellphone.
