You must have seen this location in countless old western movies. No not Feroz Khan movies! Think John Wayne and Gregory Peck; not Feroz Khan! One of the most iconic locations in South-West states of Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley is a destination worth all the Gold that McKenna stashed here! Go dig it!
P.S.: We used to have an evening newspaper called "Pratap" in those days. It had one whole page for ads for movies running in the various theatres in the city. They would translate the English movie's names to Gujarati & I vividly recall Mckenna's Gold was translated to "Makwana Nu Sonu!"

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona-Utah state line (around 36°59′N 110°6′W), near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.

This small unassuming monument marks one of the landing sites in 1922 of the first round the world flight. Pontoon planes landed in Maquoit Bay and the pilots spent the night in various summer cottages. Young boys rowed out to the planes to greet the airmen. Much much later, one of those boys became a good friend. Only one of the planes survived the trip and it can be seen at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
In loving memory of Jack.

A couple of photos, taken around 40 years apart, looking towards Gardoms Edge from Wellingtons Monument. This shows how in the intervening years, tree growth has changed the view.
Né 1869 dans la Turquie ottomane, le Père Komitas était l'un des plus célèbres hommes d'Église et musicien arménien. Il a écrit plus de trois mille chansons en arménien, arabe, kurde et persan, et a également contribué de manière significative à l'arménien moderne Patarak. Sa principale contribution a été de faire redécouvrir la musique folklorique arménienne. On lui doit également d'avoir arrangé toute la musique de la Divine Liturgie (Patarak) de l'église arménienne, pour les voix masculines. Le prêtre a donné de nombreux concerts en Europe : Paris, Genève, Berne, Constantinople, Venise ...
Personnalité mondialement connue, son nom sera inséparablement associé au génocide des Arméniens dont le Révérend père Komitas fut l’une des premières victimes. Arrêté à Constantinople le 24 avril 1915, s'il échappa à la mort, le père Komitas ne se remettra jamais véritablement de ce drame. En exil à Paris, il mourra dans un hôpital psychiatrique en 1935. Ses cendres reposent au Panthéon (Jardin Komitas) d'Erevan.
Des monuments, squares et avenues de villes et capitales européennes lui sont dédiées. A Paris, notamment (cours Albert 1er), un square commémore le Génocide arménien et une statue a été érigée à la mémoire du Père Komitas.
On December 28, 2016, President Obama issued a decree creating Gold Butte National Monument. I have been to this area, which is about 50 miles east of Las Vegas, NV, on several occasions. I took another trip out there last week and will be posting photos from the trip over the coming days.
The column is a plague monument in Trinity Square in the castle district of Budapest next to St Mathias Church.
The square is named after the Trinity column (Szentháromság oszlop), a large plague column that was built between 1710 and 1713 to a Baroque design by Philipp Ungleich.
The column was built to celebrate the end of the plague and citizens hoped that it would protect them from another epidemic. The sculpture at the top represents the Holy Trinity. It sits on a sturdy pillar decorated with statues of little angels and - below - large statues of saints. The column rests on a large pedestal adorned with bas-reliefs and the Hungarian crest.
Also known as "The Spire of Dublin", was designed by Ian Ritchie Architects. It's 120 metres (390 ft) in height, and located on the site of the former Nelson Pillar on O'Connell Street in Dublin.
The monument was commissioned as part of a redesigned street layout in 1999. O'Connell Street was perceived to have gone into decline from the 1970s. Some people blamed the appearance of fast food restaurants and the opening of bargain basement shops-all using cheap plastic shop fronts-visually unattractive and obtrusive, the existence of a number of derelict sites, and the decision in 1966 by former members of the IRA to blow up the Nelson Pillar, as reasons for the decline in a once famous and attractive street.
In the 1990s, plans were launched to improve the streetscape. The excessive number of trees in the central reservation, which had overgrown and obscured the street's views and monuments, was reduced dramatically. Statues were cleaned and in some cases relocated. Shop-owners were required to replace plastic signage and frontage with more visually attractive designs. Private car traffic was re-directed where possible away from the street, with its number of traffic lanes reduced, to allow more 'public ownership' of the street for pedestrians. The centrepiece of this regeneration was to be a replacement monument for Nelson Pillar, the Spire of Dublin, chosen through an international competition by a committee under the then chairmanship of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Joe Doyle from a large number of submissions. It is also known as "The Spike".

This is a monument on the downtown riverfront where I live,
Evansville, IN USA...it's a very lovely peaceful place for a stroll etc. A week ago today...things started getting NOT so peaceful at flickr...so thought I'd post this pic...no other description necessary yes?
My art will be on display at ARTEXPO NEW YORK from April 4 - 7. Come see my gallery if you are near New York City. I’d love to meet and chat with you. I will be in booth Foto-9.
I just want to wish a fond, farewell to all my flickr friends. Looks like I 'm moving on to bigger and better things. I just got an email from the president of a large bank in Zimbabwe. I don't even know how he got my email address, but apparently this is my lucky day! It turns out that some very wealthy person there has died in a plane crash and has no heirs to leave the money to, so the bank has temporary custody of his millions of dollars, but they are not allowed to keep it. They just need someone in the United States to give the money to. All I needed to do was to wire them $3000 for processing fees, which obviously, I promptly did. So, now that the processing fees have been paid, I should be receiving a check for five million dollars sometime next week. I'm going to be quitting my job tomorrow, as I sit here and anxiously wait for the arrival of my check! This is so exciting!
Anyway... This was from Monument Valley, last month. It's the famous Mittens. Well... It's one of the Mittens, anyway. Not sure where the other Mitten went. I think it may have been out being repaired that day.
If the landscape does that for us today, can you imagine what the landscape does for the Navajo and other First Nation tribes that roamed this land long ago? Probably not.

I cant believe how behind I am in posting image to flickr. I took this image over a year ago.
After going to a workshop by Scott Kelby in the spring I revisited this image. What you see here uses some of the principals from his 7 point editing guide.
I am pleased with the way this edit turned out vs. the original edit.
