Monument Valley has an amazing number of gorgeous sandstone rock formations. A spire reaching almost 400 feet is called the Totem Pole is near the middle of this image. A cluster of thicker spires called Yei Bi Chei stands nearby.
Happy Slider Sunday!

Yei Bi Chei and Totem Pole formation, Monument Valley, Arizona
The Totem Pole was first climbed in June 1957 by Bill Feuerer, Jerry Gallwas, Mark Powell and Don Wilson. A second route called "Never Never Land" was climbed in 1979. Parts of the 1975 thriller "The Eiger Sanction" (U.S. director Clint Eastwood) were filmed at Totem Pole. According to author Ron Hogan, in addition to directing and starring in The Eiger Sanction, Clint Eastwood did all his own stunts during the mountain-climbing sequences. Eastwood and his film crew were the last people to climb Monument Valley's Totem Pole. In order to gain permission for the shoot, they had to agree to clear the mountainside of all the pitons from previous climbing expeditions.
Monument Valley (meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 300 m above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
A 14-mile graded dirt road will show you around most of the major monuments — The Mittens, Three Sisters, John Ford’s Point, Totem Pole, Yei Bi Chai and Ear of the Wind. Navajo guides can lead you deeper, into Mystery Valley, Hunts Mesa and more. A handful of outfits will show you through the area on horseback, just the way people have been exploring it for hundreds of years.

" The Yei Bi Chei (also spelled Yébichai) is a sacred night dance of the Diné (commonly but improperly called Navajo) people of the southwestern United States. The ceremony lasts nine days and has a healing function for tribe members and is generally performed in the winter." - WIKI
I found this appropriate for this image as it was captured at Sunset in the Winter in Monument Valley. The single spire on the right is called Totem Pole and the group to the left are called " Yei Bi Chei ".
When you are in the valley, away from the crowds, there is an overwhelming calm that settles over you, add the warm afternoon light and a cold Winter breeze and you have a recipe for beautiful.
Zoom in for the details
Thanks for stopping by
Yei! I had luck with my laptop today to take my last picture of 2024. I still have many ideas but sadly this machine is giving me issues.
I know is too early for Christmas wishes but I want to send my best thoughs for all of you and your loved ones. So let's make the last of this year more special with love and hope. I know the 2025 will be full of blessings and new adventures to discover.
So Merry Christmas and Happy 2025 my dears!
And remember: Be brave, be strong and be yourself.
Hugs!

Monument Valley, USA.
June 2013.
The shot titled "river of time" was taken only a few minutes before this one. The rock formations and sand dunes had a beautiful warm red tone. For this specific image, I processed it with a touch of high key as I wanted to convey a different feel and mood.

The Totem Pole is a pillar or rock spire found in Monument Valley. It is a highly eroded remnant of a butte.
Deserts at the end of the Permian period, 260 million years ago, formed the De Chelly and Wingate Sandstones that make up the buttes, totems, and mesas in Monument Valley.
The Totem Pole rises next to a gathering of thicker spires the Navajo called Yei Bi Chei and can be seen via a self-guided Valley Drive.
The Totem Pole was first climbed June 11–13, 1957 by Bill Feuerer, Jerry Gallwas, Mark Powell and Don Wilson. The first ascent route is rated 5.10 YDS A2 in the Yosemite Decimal System. A second route called "Never Never Land" was climbed in 1979.
Parts of the 1975 thriller film The Eiger Sanction (U.S. director Clint Eastwood) were filmed at Totem Pole. According to author Ron Hogan, "[i]n addition to directing and starring in The Eiger Sanction, Clint Eastwood did all his own stunts during the mountain-climbing sequences." Hogan further adds that, Eastwood and his film crew "were the last people to climb Monument Valley's Totem Pole; in order to gain permission for the shoot, they had to agree to clear the mountainside of all the pitons from previous climbing expeditions".

Totem Pole and Yei Bi Chei
Monument Valley

The area where these natural pillars are situated is accessible only on the Navajo guided horse tours. I set the telephoto lens at 162mm to bring the formation closer.
It was a clear day, so I added a cloudscape from my recent trip to Idaho, and positioned it so the splash of cloudspray is behind the Totem Pole formation.
Additional coloration and HDR processing was added in Skylum's Aruora HDR, but then I dialed down the browns and yellows in the sand, and overlaid another layer using a black and white filter to add the whitish blue tinge to the distant buttes.

Pools of water form on the trails of Monument Valley after intense rain making it difficult for vehicles to navigate in the soft soil. Though total precipitation is limited, only 8 in. annually, when it does rain (mostly in August and September) the water is unable to be absorbed quickly and can remain on the surface for an extended period.
Monument Valley is a Navajo Tribal Park (30,000 acres) established in 1958 and located on the border of Arizona and Utah within the 16 million-acre Navajo Reservation. The Valley (actually a plateau) is one of the most iconic and enduring landmarks of the American West with its isolated red mesas, buttes and a sprawling sandy desert that has been photographed and filmed countless times. Crimson mesas and surreal sandstone towers rise hundreds of feet in the air. The rock formations in the background are called the "Totem Pole" (tall single spire on the left) and the "Yei Bi Chei Rocks".
The Totem Pole stands 400 ft. tall. The Yei-Bi-Chei resembles a holy figure among the Navajo people. In fact, distinguished Navajo men dress as Yei-Bi-Cheis and dance for healing purposes in a very sacred nine-day ceremony called the "Night Way Ceremony". The Yei-Bi-Chei rock formation appears to have a line formation of several different Yei-Bi-Chei dancers.

The view looking north from Hunts Mesa, towards the eastern edge of Monument Valley, including Yei bi Chei and Totem Pole, across the plain making up the northern edge of the Navajo Nation, past Highway 163 and its iconic leading line into Monument Valley (as featured in Forest Gump!), up to the Valley of the Gods and Muley Point, and finally Cedar Mesa, with its rich archaeological resources tucked away in beautiful canyons.
However the main significance today is the colors- orange and blue- GO BRONCOS!
La visite du Parc de Monument Valley, après une tempête de sable le matin, ici dans l'après midi, ce n'est pas du brouillard.
Le Totem Pole & Yei Bi Chei. C'est une des formations les plus fines du parc, judicieusement baptisée totem pour sa forme qui s'élève à près de 140 mètres de haut.
Visiting Monument Valley Park, after a sandstorm in the morning, here in the afternoon, it's not fog.
The Totem Pole & Yei Bi Chei. It is one of the finest formations in the park, aptly named the totem pole for its shape, which rises to nearly 140 meters high.
Another example of what makes Monument Valley so enthralling. Taken on a sunrise tour into the valley with Carl Phillips of Phillips Photo Tours - highly recommended.

Sorry for the break from posts, sometimes I am rudely reminded that I have to work for a living ;D. This shot was taken during the guided tour of the monument valley. This was actually our last stop as the light was falling quite fast and we had to get back.
The Totem pole and Yei Bi Chei are absolutely stunning during the late afternoon light. I just wish we had a chance to go to the other side and get a shot of these beautiful formations with the sand suns as foreground. Thanks for visiting hope you are all having a happy holiday season.
