I'm not sure if Monument Valley made John Ford a star or if John Ford made Monument Valley popular, but either way when I saw this scene it reminded me of all the great Westerns I've enjoyed over the years

Magnificent. Please share your processing workflow. The colors are amazing. The light at that hour is usually not ideal but man-o-man you found some magic in it.

you know, I really didn't do anything special on this shot. We had walked around and visited the museum and I sat down on a bench and looked over the landscape and this scene just jumped out at me. There were passing clouds and when they parted a bit the landscape just seemed to glow. I just clicked on one step photo fix in Corel which lightened the image a little. I think this is one of those right place, right time photos. I think it is all about the light more than anything.

thanks Jerry, "hang it up" is what my wife tells me when I'm tired, so I take a nap.

you'll have to Kyle, you will be amazed to view Monument Valley and there are several other close by areas to visit also. If you have any questions on where to stay or areas to visit, let me know.
