Description

Monument Valley, one of the Navajo Nation Tribal Parks and, perhaps, the best known of those parks. In visiting here you experience one of the most majestic - and most photographed - points on earth.

This great valley boasts sandstone masterpieces that tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 feet. framed by scenic clouds casting shadows that graciously roam the desert floor. The angle of the sun accents these graceful formations, providing scenery that is simply spellbinding.

The landscape overwhelms, not just by its beauty but also by its size. The fragile pinnacles of rock are surrounded by miles of mesas and buttes, shrubs, trees and windblown sand, all comprising the magnificent colors of the valley. All of this harmoniously combines to make Monument Valley a truly wondrous experience.

This series of images represents visions of Monument Valley during my fourth visit to the park. The first visit was one of awe and wonder. Over time, the visits presented narrowed visions of the wonderful carved mesas, butes and spires as if newly seen again for the first time. This latest visit provided a number of views of the park that I had not seen before, nor will I see again. Ways of framing, of showing the so well known formations came to me as I wandered through the self-guided loop drive.

The setting sun behind and to my left with its accompanying long shadows and deeply warm glow illuminates West and East Mittens and Merrick Butte from left to right. The golden hours are extraordinary on this stunning landscape.
