One of the stone monsters that makes up Monument Valley, or Tse’Bii’Ndzisgaii, valley of rocks. This formation is called "Stagecoach" presumably as a tribute to John Ford, though I suspect there is a Diné (Navajo) name for it- if anyone knows it please share.
Navajo tradition describes the Diné (the people) arriving at this, the fourth world, which despite its abundance of game and the presence of corn, was also inhabited by terrible monsters. These monsters were neutralized when Spider Woman passed on the magic needed to turn the monsters into stone to The Twins, who were 2nd generation peoples of the fourth world. The buttes of Monument Valley are the remnants of these monsters.

Le zèbre des plaines est présent dans la moitié sud de l’Afrique, où il fréquente les savanes et autres milieux ouverts. L'espèce vit en groupes composés d’un mâle reproducteur avec quelques femelles et leurs petits. On appelle cette structure un « harem ». Il existe en parallèle des groupes de mâles célibataires.
De nombreuses hypothèses ont été émises pour expliquer l’utilité des rayures des zèbres : identification des individus, camouflage, perturbation des prédateurs, thermorégulation… L’explication principale retenue par la communauté scientifique est finalement que les rayures des zèbres repoussent les insectes piqueurs comme les taons ou la mouche tsé-tsé. Ceux-ci pouvant transmettre des maladies, diminuer les risques d’être piqués est un avantage conséquent.
Visiting Monument Valley, an area of freestanding sandstone rock that straddles the borders of northeastern Arizona and southeastern Utah, is truly an out-of-this-world experience. According to NASA, created during the Permian period, the Valley once formed part of a seafloor where sediments and sandstone piled up in layers for millions of years. Tectonic forces raised the slab above the water line and created a plateau. Then water and wind chipped away at the sedimentary rock and removed the softer materials, eventually resulting in the towering structures that we see today. The area is now home to the Navajo Nation, and is called Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks) by the Navajo.

I'll be spinning my usual vision of insanity in the form of Dark Electro & Hellektro from 8 - 10pm.
Come get the Hell scared out of you!

Means the "valley within the rock" in the Navajo language of the people of this area.
Northwards view into Monument Valley from the Navajo reservation. Utterly peaceful compared to the very busy park to the north.

Mystery Valley, Arizona, USA
The morning sun graces three frequently photographed buttes of Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii
(Valley of Rocks/ Monument Valley). Although clear skies had been forecast for this morning we were fortunate to have some scattered clouds to provide some color and texture to the sunrise sky. As always there was a crowd gathered at “Forrest Gump Hill” (now on Google maps). It amazes me no one has been hit there, but of course you can see cars coming from a long way away.
Wishing everyone wonderful holidays- Good light to all!
Happy Hanukkah

Tsé Biiʼ Nidzisgaii is theMonument Valley.
Literally, the word translates to rock(s)—within—white-streaks-around, or thereabout. Colloquially, it’s “the streaks that go around in the rocks.” You’ll notice these streaks as the various rock layers in the Valley.
There are similar places described by the “streaks” in the rocks in Navajo, most notably the Grand Canyon.
Feeling the yoke in Valletta.
Another day.

The Navajos call this sacred rock, Tsé Bitʼaʼí, which means, Winged Rock. On maps it is identified as, Shiprock. Whatever you may call this 30 million year-old volcanic plug soaring into the sky, it is a special place - an icon of the Navajo Nation and of the Four Corners Region of New Mexico.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and Super-Mult-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75 lens with a Smardy IR 720 filter using Rollei IR 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

The setting sun casts color in the skies over South Bank. The London Eye stars yet again, and County Hall covered in fresh snow. I've never been very good at capturing sunsets, at least compared to the stunners I frequently see from my contacts here on Flickr. Still, I was pleased to see I'd found some color in the sky here.
Full 7 minute exposure @ f/8 using the 10-stop neutral density filter. The Eye rotates so slowly (full rotations take about 30 minutes) that capturing this look requires long exposures. Just a bit of upward shift to keep the focal plane vertical.

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. It includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew).
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. They are accessible by guided tour only.
When the sun is completely blocked by the moon, the total solar eclipse occurs, a layer of white gauze will wrap around the black sun.
If you look closely in a telescope, you can even see its textures as delicate as silk, extending from the edge of the black sun till somewhere times beyond the diameter of the sun.
This layer of gauze is the sun's upper atmosphere, the solar corona. Only when the total solar eclipse occurs, it has the chance to be seen by our naked eyes.

An experiment with photoshop and some content-aware fill for balance. If you're looking for it, the wing and the terminal building are considerably longer than the original print – glad they were very predictable, linear, patterns.
Se conoce como Earthshine, al brillo de la Tierra reflejado en la cara de la Luna opuesta al Sol y se logra ver tanto en algunas fases de la luna como en un eclipse total de sol. Su tono es levemente azulado y se debe a que la mayoría de la luz que refleja la Tierra proviene de sus océanos. Esta fotografía sólo es posible realizarla con distintas exposiciones. Afortunadamente en esos momentos a pesar de mi terrible ansiedad pude mantener la calma y lograr diversas tomas en distintas exposiciones para poder mostrar esta imagen.
Agradezco la óptica que me entrega también el telescopio apocromático, especial para astrofotografía y que su construcción de 3 elementos, óptica y largo focal de 712 mm me permiten obtener imagenes nítidas.
Enjoying the user experience of this lens with the T/S functionality. Still getting used to it and loving the results. One thing to remind myself is not to go crazy on the T/S functionality, it can be overdone. Using this lens at 0/0 setting provides very good imagery, sharp! The 45mm focal length offers a great perspective.
