On the road, Monument Valley, Arizona, 2009

The photographers on this trip took turns making the famous image of a distant Monument Valley as seen from a road that runs straight as a Navajo arrow towards the famed monoliths on the horizon. Every few seconds someone would shout “Car,” triggering a quick exit. I liked the contrasting colors of this photographer’s elbow and knee. They help energize an otherwise flat, cloudy day image.

The monoliths are so large, we could see them looming on the horizon when we were more than ten miles away from them, Vera. Glad this image gives you a feeling for the great spaces here.

This really provides me with the perspective on how far it really was to the monuments.

Once again, the landscape itself offer a surreal backdrop -- and by putting this photographer in the middle of it, we create an incongruous relationship between man and nature.
