[It's possible that the fact you weren't able to see this coming it what makes it so overwhelming, once your eyes adjust back to bright sunset light.]
[You're standing on the floor of a deep chasm. The walls are smooth and windswept and banded with natural colors, each one representing a single eon of time, and now all exposed at once as if cut open like a cake. The sky, far up above, looks like a jagged stripe of light across the ceiling. ...And across the floor. Because that dried up stream never really dried up, it just found another path to this same destination. But it flows so slowly that what's here may as well be standing water, completely placid and mirror smooth. The water at the bottom of the fissure perfectly reflects the walls and sky, making the canyon look like two independent walls of stone floating in a void of sunset light.]
[Basically it's like Antelope Canyon if the floor were a mirror.]
