Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Navajo Nation: Beautiful snow from the heavens above, pure as an angel, peaceful as a dove. Thank nature for the beauty that instills us with wonder and the tranquility that fills us with peace. At first I was disappointed by the days of cold cloudy weather that would restrict my access to the rest of the park, and then by the grafiti etched into the rocks in the forground by foolish vandals. Well, we’re here, came all this way, why not give it a try. The 6×7 image with a warming horizon filter seemed to bring the whole experience together as I’ve never seen this place expressed before. Someday I’ll venture back here some August day and caputre the floating white clouds against the turquise sky as the warm light of sunset glows on the East and West Mitten Buttes. An image taken by many a traveler and tourist.
