The
Wild West – Monument Valley
We
happily got to spend a full day in the Monument Valley and took full advantage
of it! Here are some of the views of the
wonderful landscape!
It
was early morning. The sun was just
beginning to peek over the horizon. I
stepped outside of our RV and this was how the morning greeted me. Vibrant colors, incredible landscape
formations, and perfect natural framing all came together in this image.
John
Ford is a famous director of many westerns in the 1940s starring John
Wayne. Apparently, this was one of his
favorite viewpoints to set the scene, so to speak. The lighting on this day was a perfect blend
of bright and soft, and truly complimented the landscape.
The
formations when I stood in this position, reminded me of shadows. The formations aren’t identical, although you
cannot see that from this vantage point.
The starkness of the landscape seemed to call for the image to be
processed in black and white.
There
isn’t much that’s green in Monument Valley, but this tree was one of the view
things that were a rather dusty green.
Just as the rocks are in various formations, so, too, is the tree, with
its twisty turning trunk.
This
tree has a perfectly formed trunk, with several large branches filling out to
create a wonderful form of the tree. As
is the case with much of what’s found in Monument Valley, this tree seems to
have the primary color of sepia.
Enjoy!
