IMAGE #: 091014-1796

TOOLS: Canon 5d Mark II ~ Photomatix Pro ~ Photoshop CS5

DESCRIPTION: Monument valley is a magical place as daylight releases its tenuous grip over the magnificent natural wonders that dominate the landscape. As I stood to capture this scene, my Navajo indian guide chanted a prayer for peace and prosperity into a gentle breeze that echoed off the distant buttes throughout the valley. It was a perfect moment.

    Beautiful capture! Just outstanding!

  • Thank you. It’s a beautiful place to visit at twighlight! As I snapped this shot, a Navaho Indian was chanting a wish for good luck into a warm breeze. His chants echoed off the buttes in the distance. The moment was completely magical!

    I love this Brenden! The evening light and tones are wonderful!

  • Twighlight is the best light for Monument Valley although it’s hard to take a bad picture there no matter what time of day you are shooting!
