Monument Magic
Morning light behind the Monuments of the sacred valley known as Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii
Monument Valley is a worldwide icon due to the many movies filmed there over the decades - particularly those of John Ford. It is part of the Navajo Indian Reservation along the Arizona-Utah border, and thankfully, it continues to be preserved in a near pristine state by the Diné - the Navajo people.
It is a special place - impossible to describe the feeling of timelessness one has there.
After taking some astro shots during the night (coming up later!), the morning saw wildfire smoke filtering into the valley - creating a hazy of mystery.
This is an stack of only two bracketed images (I took many more), taken from our hotel room (stay at The View hotel if you can!). Then blended by hand with the aid of Lumenzia luminosity masks.
I hope I have captured some of that magic here. We were extremely fortunate to have such unique conditions during our much too short stay.
Please enjoy, and I hope you get to visit!
