The story behind the image

During our 2003 trip to the United States, we visited Monument Valley. At first we hesitated a bit to drive the valley with our rental car. But then we decided to go for it, and it was absolutely worth the effort. It allowed me to stop as required to take countless photos showing the majestic landscape in all its beauty.

Here I spotted three single trees on top of a small dune. I like the simplicity of the shot, its clear structure and the reduced color set. As a bonus, there’s a lot of copyspace for those who need it.
