After sunrise. Driving around Monument Valley we found this sight at the back side. Beautiful and quite place.
Monument Valley "Ndzisgaii in Navajo", 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, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West.

The Naden Valley contains four reservoirs (Greenbooth, Naden Lower, Naden Middle and Naden Higher) which were built to supply water to Rochdale. There is also a network of waymarked footpaths for walkers. The three Naden reservoirs date back to the nineteenth century whilst the largest, Greenbooth reservoir, was created in 1961 by flooding the village of Greenbooth.

Beautiful alpine valley, little village wwith its beautiful alpine-style houses, nice holiday memory.
Today it was a case of early bird catches the good weather. This old bird was pleased to arrive 'home' just as the rain came even though I wore myself out with a walk which had several ups and downs in order to cross streams/rivers. The views were worth the pain (I think!) and barely saw a soul all morning since most people don't get going till later.

Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada, USA and was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968. It covers an area of almost 42,000 acres (17,000 ha) and was dedicated in 1935. It derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas, at an elevation between 2,000–2,600 feet (610–790 m). It abuts the Lake Mead National Recreation Area at the Virgin River confluence. It lies in a 4 by 6 mi (6.4 by 9.7 km) basin.
Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. Other important rock formations include limestones, shales, and conglomerates.
The park entry from Interstate 15 passes through the Moapa Indian Reservation. The park has a visitor center that should be visited by anyone planning any off-road activities.
The site is marked as Nevada Historical Marker #150.

The beautiful Turtmann valley covered in shadow. A very quiet and very nice valley, without all the mass tourism. Just nature! In the middle far away, the summit of the Weisshorn (4505m) is slightly visible.
Yosemite National Valley Park is in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. It’s famed for its giant, ancient sequoia trees, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. There is a Vista point that allows you to appreciate the whole valley. Stayed in this place over 2 hours waiting for sunset, other tourists came, took photos, and left… The light shifted and clouds changed so quickly that the view was always different.

The view from a rock called "the Mühlefels" over the Danube Valley in the Schwäbische Alb. The views from the tops of the rocks lining the valley is marvellous. I stood on top of quite a lot of them, so there are similar views of the meandering Danube that will follow
View from Glacier Point into Yosemite Valley with the Half Dome to the right side. Due to the huge rough fire in Kings Canyon there's some smoke in the air. Unfortunately there was also a wildfire in Yosemite, so the air was not really clear and the view was not as good as it could have been. Nevertheless it's still a great view!

Das Valley of the Gods ähnelt im Aussehen dem wesentlich bekannteren und touristisch erschlossenen Monument Valley und weist vergleichbare Sandsteintürme und Felsnadeln auf.
Der Mythologie der Navajo zufolge sind die Felsformationen Plätze der Stärke, an denen die Geister der Vorfahren wohnen, speziell im Valley of the Gods. Die markanten Sandsteintürme sind versteinerte Krieger des Stammes, die um persönlichen Schutz angerufen werden können. Sie stellen Leibwächter dar, deren Macht und Stärke die jungen Männer auf dem Weg in den Krieg begleitet.
The Valley of the Gods is similar in appearance to the much better known and more touristically developed Monument Valley and has comparable sandstone towers and sea stacks.
According to Navajo mythology, the rock formations are places of strength where ancestral spirits dwell, especially in the Valley of the Gods. The distinctive sandstone towers are petrified warriors of the tribe who can be invoked for personal protection. They represent bodyguards whose power and strength accompanies the young men on their way to war.
