I took this image in the Monument Valley on a warm April evening. I

was staying in The View hotel on the Navajo Indian Reservation and

noticed a promising trail just behind the hotel. I hiked for about 15

minutes and got approximately 100-150 meters above the parking lot

level. From that vantage point I had a fantastic view of the Valley in

both eastern and western directions. The sun was very low, it was

maybe 20 min. before the sunset. I saw this beautiful scene and all I

had to do is to wait for the clouds to move in to complement it. The

wind was howling in the rocks around me and I had to hold on to the

tripod and the camera but at the same time, I was soaking what I saw

in, humbled by the beauty of the Nature.

Both the technical quality of this image and the about well deserve the 7 here, I also appreciate the fine details you brought out of this place and the late afternoon original tones to complete one superbly designed composition.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Superb Landscape, the low sun and fluffy clouds in the right place at the right time, the large view reveals some excellent details, definately a keeper!
