Monument Valley

This is another amazing location for photography. It's a relatively compact area, with many photo opportunities. I've been there twice and have so much more to see and shoot.

One of the many viewpoints of the Mittens in Monument Valley. This view was just a few steps off the 17 mile road through the valley.

One can spend all morning traveling the 17 mile self-guided drive through Monument Valley. Then, do the same in the afternoon, and you'll have a completely different set of images. It's an amazing place!

Thumb and Moon
#AZ-112

Another magnificent monument from Monument Valley, again just a few feet from the main road.
You make your own line about "thumbing the moon..."

John Ford Point

One wonders if John Ford had conversations with John Wayne here, while filming Stagecoach?

Close-up views of the Totem Pole, like this, can only be seen with an Indian Guide. My guide, Tom Phillips, was highly recommended, and lived up to expectations.
