***************
Monument Valley (Navajo: Ts� 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 Arizona-Utah state line (around 36�59′N 110�6′WCoordinates: 36�59′N 110�6′W), near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films, and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."

So often landscape images don't include "humans". This one is great because it gives one perspective. Very colorful as well. Nice work.

Great capture of the mood of Monument Valley, Barbara. What a place for a horse back ride. No wonder why John Ford loved to do epic western movies here!.......Fav / like
