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 southern border of Utah with northern Arizona (around 36°59′N 110°6′W / 36.983°N 110.1°W / 36.983; -110.1), near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
The area is part of the Colorado Plateau. The floor is largely Cutler Red siltstone or its sand deposited by the meandering rivers that carved the valley. The valley's vivid red color comes from iron oxide exposed in the weathered siltstone. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get their color from manganese oxide.
The buttes are clearly stratified, with three principal layers. The lowest layer is Organ Rock shale, the middle de Chelly sandstone and the top layer is Moenkopi shale capped by Shinarump siltstone. The valley includes large stone structures including the famed Eye of the Sun.
Between 1948 and 1967, the southern extent of the Monument Upwarp was mined for uranium, which occurs in scattered areas of the Shinarump siltstone; vanadium and copper are associated with uranium in some deposits (see Uranium mining in Arizona).

This image was shot a couple of years ago during my tour of Iceland in Winter. I have taken some time to get to a development that I like and I am finally delighted with this image
Sunray at the gate after the rain. One of my favorite shot to see such sky from Berkeley marina. I do not see it often with these clouds formation during the sunset time.
Thank you all so much for the favorites, comments and shares! I really appreciate it!!!

We took this picture a long time ago. We were driving home from the mountain late 2004 and the clouds and the sun made for a really sweet photo.
Someone else pointed out that the picture was a juxtaposition of natural and artificial light. I can't claim to be clever enough to do that on purpose, but I'll pretend to anyway.
The awesome sunrays out to sea at Weston-super-Mare recently. The beam of light was shining down on the island of Flatholme, and was an irresistable shot, but it's come out almost as if it was pasted on.
It wasn't I promise!
