Canyon de Chama
Location Origin Story
Chama Canyon or rather Cańon De Chama is an ancient place, used by First Nations Tribes for nearly 10,000 years, from the time period when camels and wooly mammoths roamed the southwestern United States. Running down the bottom of this wide canyon is the Rio Chama. At 130 miles (210 km) long, this river is a major tributary of the Rio Grande.

About This Photograph
This dark desolate scene was photographed in the late afternoon during the month of September while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Clark National Forest and the Mesa De Los Viejos following the Rio Chama River.
Image Rarity
The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.
Tracking between storm clouds and climbing high enough to set this scene was difficult with the winds and rain, the low lying clouds provide a dramatic view.
Timing and being in the place-in-space for this scene to reveal itself was crucial to this image composition.
Lastly, it is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it extremely rare.
