Monument Valley Sunrise

Monument Valley on a beautiful but bitterly cold morning. Shot from near "The View", a hotel with, not surprisingly, a wonderful view of "The Mittens" buttes in Monument Valley. The temperature and snow resulted in some interesting light fog layers which drifted around the buttes. When the sun hit the fog at sunrise, it created these wonderful streaks around the buttes.

 

A second shot from my recent road trip with Josh Krasner and Kevin Benedict. A really great trip, and my first visit to several great National parks, including Monument Valley. Special thanks to Kevin for the impeccable planning of a fairly complicated agenda, and to Josh for gear advice.
