The False Kiva is an Archeological Site within the “Island in the Sky” district of Canyon lands. It isn’t publicized, however, but since it is on public lands, is still accessible to the public if they know where to go. Going by the number of photos I have seen of this, I imagine every photographer in the world must know where it is, thanks to the internet. This particular photo has won first place at our state fair as well as a PSA approved exhibition competition. Due to the exposure range between the inside of the dark cave and the bright outside, I used bracketing of 5 exposures on my camera.
