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.
D’une beauté irréelle, Antelope Canyon ( Tse’ bighanilini : « l’endroit où l’eau court à travers la roche ») est un slot canyon (faille dans la roche étroite formée par l’érosion), que l’on visite « en file indienne » avec un guide Navajo.
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.

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.

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!

This image is included in a gallery "Antelope Canyon" curated by Blacky.
Upper Antelope Canyon, about 200m in length, is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack" 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.
Antelope Canyon's winding walls were carved by fast flowing flash flood waters. The floods carried abrasive sand, rocks logs and other debris picked up by the sudden torrents. Over millenia, these floods sculpted natural corridors through the soft sandstone. (sourced from internet)

Monument Valley is located on the southern border of Utah with northern Arizona. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163. The Navajo name for the valley is Tsé Bii' Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks).
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.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning "valley of the rocks") is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (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.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 km2] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

History
Before human existence, the Park was once a lowland basin. For hundreds of millions of years, materials that eroded from the early Rock Mountains deposited layer upon layer of sediment which cemented a slow and gentle uplift, generated by ceaseless pressure from below the surface, elevating these horizontal strata quite uniformly one to three miles above sea level. What was once a basin became a plateau.
Natural forces of wind and water that eroded the land spent the last 50 million years cutting into and peeling away at the surface of the plateau. The simple wearing down of altering layers of soft and hard rock slowly revealed the natural wonders of Monument Valley today.
From the visitor center, you see the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours. During the summer months, the visitor center also features Haskenneini Restaurant, which specializes in both native Navajo and American cuisines, and a film/snack/souvenir shop. There are year-round restroom facilities. One mile before the center, numerous Navajo vendors sell arts, crafts, native food, and souvenirs at roadside stands.

Captured again on the way back from Harris. I still find Skye the most beautiful landscape in Scotland - but considering the beauty all over this place, that's quite an achievement. Needing to get to a hotel, this is the only capture I have from Skye on this occasion.
Two one minute exposures stitched for a verterama and cropped to 5x4.

Two 6400 meters peaks, Taboche & Chola Tse, accompany you on the trek from Thukla to Dingboche & onwards to Lobuche. As you walk alongside on ridges at 4500 to 4900 meters, these lofty giants look so close that you feel that one mad run uphill would make you summit them; the wise know better!
With a silent prayer at the Buddhist Stupa, many deep breaths & countless steps through this vast empty land between these spectacular giants was one of the most endearing walks on the Everest Base Camp trek.

Monument Valley : décor mythique et terre sacrée des Navajos
Les Navajos nomment l’endroit « Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii » ( la vallée des rocs ). La vue offerte sur Monument Valley est mythique : West Mitten Butte, East Mitten Butte et Merrick Butte sont sacrées pour les Navajos mais évoquent aussi les grands westerns du cinéma américain. Ces immenses silhouettes de grès ont servies de décor à La Chevauchée fantastique et La Charge héroïque de John Ford, ou encore Il était une fois dans l’Ouest de Sergio Leone. Devant un tel panorama, impossible de ne pas songer à John Wayne coiffé de son Stetson, ou de siffloter un air d’Ennio Morricone.
The Navajos name the place "Tse Bii 'Ndzisgaii" (valley of the rocks). The view of Monument Valley is mythical: West Mitten Butte, East Mitten Butte and Merrick Butte are sacred to the Navajos but also evoke the great westerns of American cinema. These immense sandstone silhouettes served as the setting for The Fantastic Ride and John Ford's Heroic Charge, or Once upon a time in the West of Sergio Leone. In front of such a panorama, it is impossible not to think of John Wayne wearing his Stetson, or to whistle an air of Ennio Morricone.
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.

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.
This is its Navajo name - Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, (meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes. This fabulous place is also called monument Valley
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.
