This medium-sized alcove is like a smaller version of the Great Chamber, but without the stain patterns. It has a small sand dune inside. Located a short walk from a gas station in Page, Arizona, it is becoming a popular place for selfie photos and short visits. Expect lots of footprints on the dune.

This is a pano made from 3 vertical shots.

Cool partly cloudy weather makes the best conditions for shooting small solitary bees. I found a male European Blue Mason Bee semi-active on a Dandelion.

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
