Description

The Twin Buttes of the Valley ("The Mittens") are located in Monument Valley and are part of the Navajo Nation Reservation located in Arizona. Look at the small car in the middle of the sand road to get some sense of scale. For a spectacular view of what sunset looks like here, check out the photo below:

What an amazing scene, so wonderfully captured. Massive erosion has gone on here & left an artistic sculpture.

....es schaut so "unwirklich" aus - wie von einem anderen Stern. Dabei ist es "echt"!!! Eine wunderbare Panorama-Aufnahme! Diese Farben der "Berge" und die Wolkenformation dazu - ich bin begeistert!!!!

What does it feel like, to stand and look at this vista? I would be buzzing for six months or more, there must be an incredible adrenalin rush when you first step out of the car. To stand and breath in the beauty that it has taken eons to form, that will still be shaping when we ourselves have long since turned to dust. How many gallons of water and sand blown on the wind did it take to get to this state? Awesome image! Bravo!!!!!

I thought this was Arizona :) I used to live in Phoenix years ago; loved it there.. but missed the rain... of all things. BUT NOT THE SNOW! lol Anyway, lovely shot. Absolutely gorgeous; love the colors of the sand.
