Hunt's Mesa

Navajo Nation, Navajo County, Arizona view map

Never have 4 guys dropped their food mid-bite and make a dash for their cameras (on the camera tree, of course)
so quickly as when this glorious bit of sunset light (finally) lit up the scene. This opportunity to catch the light here
made the trip worth the effort and expense. My thanks to Glenn for keeping a sharp lookout. Not just a hat rack....

And, for those who haven't already seen this, the famed camera tree....

Nice to prove some worth; other than holding my hat. Great capture of that fleeting light Sam.

A fantastic show of light and a beautiful image Sam. Not only is the camera tree adorned with expensive ornaments but a very practical solution to a dusty environment too. V
