Monument Valley Road Shot at Sunrise, Arizona USA

The much photographed road shot, taken at sunrise.
All I had to do was get up early and wait for “it” to happen.
The early bird catches the worm !

Scanned from a Fuji Velvia transparency, image shot on my Ricoh KR10 super, mounted on a tripod and polariser fitted, f22, iso 50, don’t know the shutter speed !
Scanned with my Nikon Coolscan VED into Adobe PS CS3, with a little dust and noise removal.

    The really wonderful touch to this shot is that you chose to let the road form a ribbon that leads diagonally to the heart of the image. Favourite, as soon as I clicked on it.

    Gorgeous Landscape Portrait, dear PhotosEcosse! I personally like the shadows because the add so much reality & contrast to this. The colors orange & blue are also key players in this piece!

    Rolling down a strip of asphalt,
    I am taken with the idea,
    Although I feel my body and significance,
    My view is within my body’s world.
    I see that brilliant orange and red,
    The blue behind your rocky head,
    and still, from 300 miles away,
    I am invisible to anyone but God.

    I could do the sunsets, but never the sunrises. Vacations just do me in and I can never get up in time. ;o) Funny, the rest of the time I’m up well before sunrise.

  • PhotosEcosse replied

    Well, we get jet lag coming as we do from Scotland, eight hours of difference, so somehow getting up at Dawn seems like it is Lunch time !
    LOL!!

    The reason it is shot so much is because it evokes such strong feelings, as does your perspective here. Your images leads me right into the West, and the adventures that are there.
