Monument Valley
Monument Valley, Utah. It's only 5 square miles but has entered the popular imagination as typical of the American West, used as it has been in countless westerns. This particular scene was actually shot from our hotel balcony and was unknown to us until dawn, when this photo was taken. It's almost like cheating, because I pointed the camera at it and took the picture and voila - a tableau of mesas, fog and lingering springtime snow. What a scene.
