The Wave – ‘The Dune’ of Arizona

The Wave is a sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, located in northern portion of the U.S. state of Arizona, just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.

The Wave is worth exploring in great detail. The soft sandstone is fragile, so one needs to walk carefully to not break the small ridges. A good time for photographing the Wave is the few hours around midday when there are no shadows in the center, although early morning and late afternoon shadows can also make for dramatic photos. When one visits the Wave after a recent rain storm, numerous pools – in which one can even bathe, and which can contain hundreds of tadpoles – can be present for several days.

The Wave itself is not easy to find. In an effort to maintain the area’s natural settings, there are few trails or signs to guide hikers within the area. It is not uncommon for groups to get lost and never find the Wave. It is therefore recommended that each group carry a GPS receiver to both find the Wave and their way back. The Wave’s exact GPS coordinates can be obtained from the rangers.

Visiting The Ron Mueck Exhibition Visiting The Ron Mueck Exhibition Remember the David Bowie/Jennifer Connelly movie Labyrinth? One of the model-makers on the set was a young Australian named Ron Mueck. After dabbling in creating realistic props for advertising (that’s where the money is, baby!), Mueck started producing three-dimensional sculptures purely for art. His work quickly caused a sensation in art circles in the United Kingdom, and Dead Dad — displayed as part of the 1997 Sensation show at the Royal Academy of Arts — gave him international frame. We’re fortunate to have been able to see a colle

Researchers have found that sharks hunt in a highly focused fashion, just like serial criminals. In an awesome display of power and acrobatic prowess, white sharks attack prey with a sudden vertical rush that propels them out of the wate

60 Most Failed Countries of the World: Postcards From Hell 60 Most Failed Countries of the World: Postcards From Hell During the last half-decade, the Fund for Peace has been putting together the Failed States Index, using a battery of indicators that determine how stable (or unstable) a country is. As a result, we have taken the top 60, or should we say worst 60 Failed Countries of the World.
