This is one from the archives of travelling through the west of America in 2012. It was a great experience to see Monument Valley!
Monument Valley 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 and lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation.

Although it wasn't the clearest day the views were still amazing.
The cars on the road give an idea of just how immense these rocks are.

Somewhere along the Utah and Arizona border by Monument Valley. That day the blue sky and clouds were incredible as there were showers in the area. We would drive in and out of the showers only to see sunshine and these clouds.

Went with the family to visit the newly installed LED lighting at Penshaw Monument near Sunderland last night
I lived close to this monument for many years and was my "go too" place whenever a quick sunset shot looked promising.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
While in Washington D.C. last week my primary interest was shooting street shots but I could not resist a few typical tourist shots too.

I'm revisiting the photos I took in southern Utah, northern Arizona, and northern New Mexico in 2009, reprocessing some, adding a few, and deleting others.
This is taken from the Lincoln Memorial. I was there at 9:00 PM at night and there were still thousands of people around. Getting a clear shot with all of the reflection was impossible. The fence was temporary for the July 4th celebration. It was lovely to see so many of the monuments and memorials in DC.

Colorado National Monument was a special surprise that surpassed my expectations that I had going in. Full of unique rock formations, deep canyons, and colorful redrock this park is a much smaller and quieter alternative to places like Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon. On this particular morning I had to practice a bit of patience in the cold waiting for the sun to rise and hit a hole in the clouds allowing it to illuminate the rocky landscape. It was a special morning to be out doing photography and even more sweet time to be with my Savior.
