Description
A fallen Mesquite Tree and a blooming Mojave Yucca plant provide the foreground for this monochrome view of the East Mitten Butte and Merrick Butte just before sunset in Monument Valley Tribal Park, Arizona.
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is located on the Navajo Nation—one of the largest American Indian tribes. This sandy preserve bathes the region between Arizona and Utah in rich red hues, adding to its reputation of having some of the most dramatic and mesmerizing light.

Beautifully photographed. It looks great in monochrome. I see you have a very impressive collection of work which I will need to spend some time with to appreciate and be inspired.
