Morning Glory

Monument Valley sits astride the Utah-Arizona border within the Navajo Nation in the United States. It is a spiritual, inspirational location at all times, and was especially so on this particular October morning as sunbeams radiated from behind the clouds, highlighting West Mitten, East Mitten, and Merrick Butte. Taken from the cabin area associated with the View Motel. Sony A7III, Sony 24-105 mm F4 G at 44 mm, 1/1600th of a second at f/9, ISO 400.

Naptime

Time for a nap!
