Americas Treasures: The Monument Valley

One of the most amazing places on earth, bar none.

In 2014 I traveled across the USA first by train (westbound) and then by pick-up truck (eastbound). I have shared a lot of those pictures in my posts, but have never dedicated a single post to any of them. These shots were all taken in the Monument Valley in Arizona. I stayed on the local Navajo reservation for the night (best lodging bargain in America) and got up early to get to Oklahoma City. It was pre-dawn and I was not quite awake. But I had my camera on the passenger seat and just shot things that caught my eye. A lot of these are shots where I pointed my camera out of the window and just took a series of pictures. They are not pro quality, but the scenery is so spectacular it does not matter. So the lighting stinks, the photographer stinks, and the pictures are awesome. BTW, for those not in the know, a lot of westerns were filmed in the Monument Valley, so some of this may look familiar.

Look at that scenery

My lodgings the previous evening, I think I paid less than $100 to be in the shadow of greatness

Nothing like photography at 70mph

Sun is starting to come up

Sun peaking up over the mountain

Still impresses me

Peace, love, and rock and roll,
