Monument Valley, a Navajo Nation heritage park, is a spectacular sight at dusk, when the buttes throw elongated shadows across the landscape. This image was taken from the View hotel inside the park.
(This image uses 3 exposures +/2 AEB, f5.6/77/11, Captured on a Canon 5D and a Tamron 28-300 lens, then tonemapped in Photomatix Final processing done in Apple’s Aperture.)
