Glorious Night
I had spent the day at a campground near Monument Valley so I could escape the scorching heat a little bit. That was the plan but I found there was no escape from the heat dome that had established itself over the Southwest in the hottest month on record. But at least I could use the bathroom and shower to cool off.
After the heat eased off towards evening because of cloud cover, I went on to the Valley of the Gods.
What a fantastic place!
Once I arrived at this spire, I realized I didn't want to go any further as the heat had taken quite a bit out of me. So my photos consist of shots of this mountain in the various fast changing conditions that I encountered during my short stay.
With no moon or passing trucks to throw light on this enormous structure, I struggled to get any illumination going. My flashlight and small video light that serve me so well in other situations proved woefully inadequate.
Or maybe I was just tired.
