The sandstone to the left could almost be a vertical formation - which would then mean that the background would have to be a solid backdrop, a studio set. But, in fact, its taken peering over the edge of a bridge into the Colorado River just east of Lee's Ferry and Marble Canyon. What furthers the confusion is the way the the shadow along its left edge makes the sandbar seem to be lower than the water. The end result is abstraction: the photograph of a specific geographical locale dissolves into somewhat unrecognizable forms. You can see the sandbar just below the bridge by clicking here. It's hidden in shadow.
