I guess my Monument Valley album wouldn't be quite complete without Jill's "Yay" pic.... Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park - Arizona.
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.

As a little boy, I was a fan of John Wayne and have remained so to this day. The western films by director John Ford with John Wayne were a highlight for me at the time. In 1992 I was finally able to see this dream landscape from the films with my own eyes and I almost had tears. In 2012, during our second tour through the American Southwest, that had to happen again, of course. For me this landscape has something very special which naturally brings back memories of my childhood and that is something wonderful.

Im Jahr 1992 konnte ich endlich diese Traumlandschaft aus den Filmen mit eigenen Augen sehen und hatte fast Tränen. Im Jahr 2012, während unserer zweiten Tour durch den Südwesten der USA, mußte sich das natürlich wiederholen. Für mich hat diese Landschaft etwas ganz spezielles welche natürlich Erinnerungen an meine Kindheit hervorruft und das ist etwas wunderbares.

We had a beautiful sunrise this morning and what is even more amazing is I was up in time to capture it! This was taken on the Colorado National Monument.
The Washington Monument, designed in the simple shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was built in honour of George Washington. Constructed between 1848 and 1884 it was the tallest structure in the world at the time of completion, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in France in 1889. The monument however remains the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall. It has an aluminum apex, which at the time of casting was the largest piece of aluminum in the world with Aluminum being relatively unknown having a value similar to silver. The slight change in shading of the marble at 46m (150ft) came from a halt in construction between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the civil war with construction eventually resuming from a different source of stone. National Mall, Washington DC, United States of America. Took this shot this evening, so its a rare post for me to share the day it was taken!

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 13 square kilometers have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West." Between 1945 and 1967, the southern extent of the Monument Upwarp was mined for uranium, which occurs in scattered areas of the Shinarump Conglomerate; vanadium and copper are associated with uranium in some deposits.
