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 view towards North-East across the giant plains of Arizona and Utah (in the back) from Artist’s Point. The sunlight was already creating long shadows which enhance the contrast and highlight the texture of the tall rock.
Lovely.
