Night Dance

" The Yei Bi Chei (also spelled Yébichai) is a sacred night dance of the Diné (commonly but improperly called Navajo) people of the southwestern United States. The ceremony lasts nine days and has a healing function for tribe members and is generally performed in the winter." - WIKI

 

I found this appropriate for this image as it was captured at Sunset in the Winter in Monument Valley. The single spire on the right is called Totem Pole and the group to the left are called " Yei Bi Chei ".

 

When you are in the valley, away from the crowds, there is an overwhelming calm that settles over you, add the warm afternoon light and a cold Winter breeze and you have a recipe for beautiful.

 

Zoom in for the details
