Inside The Wave

I am hosting the WWYD189 Challenge, and this is the picture that I am proposing as the starting image for the Challenge.

Here is a copy/paste excerpt from the introduction to the Challenge.

In 2012, my wife and I were lucky enough to win the draw that gives a one day access pass into the protected area of The Wave, Utah. I made this shot on that occasion.

For site protection purposes, the access to The Wave is limited to 20 people per day, selected by a lottery managed by the US Bureau of Land Management, with applicants coming from all over the world. The site sits in a remote area of Utah, accessible only through an unmarked desert hike in an area with no GPS coverage. See here for more info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(Arizona).

Wow, really fabulous! Not sure there's more to say on this one! But I'll give it a shot!

Truly magnificent shot !

What an incredible scene - and what a marvellous experience that must have been for you.

OMG. You got picked for that. How awesome is that. I have been to the region but not to that special place. This will be a challenge for sure.

[Elizabeth]

This is fabulous! Must have been fantastic to be there in person.

[Diana]

What a stunning capture of this amazing scene! How lucky can one get.

@lsquared @momamo @robz @shutterbug49 @redy4et @ludwigsdiana Thank you all so much. I love this challenge. I have another version with the 7 Dwarfs coming out of the “tunnel” on the right, but don’t want to infringe on Disney’s rights.

I loved this starter image.I have one at home I did with the “7 dwarves” emerging from the tunnel on the right with spades and picks in hand, but I didn’t know if it was legal to use Disney characters. Fun challenge. Thanks!
