Monument Valley

We had just left our campsite this morning when we drove around the corner on our way to Monument Valley. The morning light was glowing in the east behind the rock formations. I decided I had to pull over and take a picture. Another beautiful morning in paradise. Hope yours was good too.

It's all in the details

















Sometimes you get the chance to visit a new place that is so awesome that all you can do is stand back and take in the whole grand scene. Normally that would have been the case when we visited the Willis Creek canyon area of southern Utah. However, on this day I had the bad luck of having the flu. As a result I got to the point that I just had to sit down and rest while Beth went on ahead and explored. After I rested awhile I was able to do a bit of photographic exploring of my own. Right there where I was sitting I noticed that the sandstone walls had this beautiful texture that was just amazing. I took this picture to try to capture the feeling of the place. Sometimes, it's all in the details.
