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.

We entered the park in the late afternoon and took our time to drive slowly to all of the beautiful locations. I took this wide angle panorama shot from Artist’s Point, and the sunlight was creating already very long shadows.

Stunningly beautiful.
