Monument Valley
Another spectacular, iconic, breathtaking landscape of the southwestern US. This land is part of the Navajo reservation, and again, through their grace, we are allowed the opportunity to visit, to be awed, to be stunned in wonderment by this monumental place.
I have always loved the paintings of Frederic Remington. Having recently visited the Southwest, I appreciate his artistic genius all the more. He captured the light and colors so authentically, he had to have such intimate knowledge and passion for his subject.
"I knew the wild riders and the vacant land were about to vanish forever... and the more I considered the subject, the bigger the forever loomed. Without knowing how to do it, I began to record some facts around me, and the more I looked the more the panorama unfolded."
