Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. It includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). Antelope Canyon was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding and other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, deepening the corridors and smoothing hard edges to form characteristic "flowing" shapes.

Photographer Linxiang Qin, a member of the China Photographers Association, received training in photojournalism in the 1990s. Since 2008, he has reactivated his artistic dreams and picked up his camera to take pictures all over the world. He is obsessed with shooting scenery and wildlife, and he actively participates in wildlife rescue and protection. He has traveled multiple times in the uninhabited area of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China to photograph Tibetan antelopes and Tibetan wild donkeys. He has also entered the Antarctic Peninsula twice and the Arctic Svalbard island once to capture polar scenery with his camera. Mr. Qin has also been documenting Hokkaido red-crowned cranes and swans for eight consecutive years. Since 2012, he has insisted on going to the East African plateau to photograph lions and other wild animals.
