Monument Valley

These photos were taken in Monument Valley, Arizona, in April 2002.

This is Navajo Nation land and has some of the world's most remarkable landscape.

It is characterised by huge vertical columns, buttes and mesas, and is even the 'location' for the 'Road Runner' cartoons.

It has been a popular location for 'western' movies.

Columns, A series of vertical columns.
Lonely Donkey, There were several of these donkeys wandering around Monument Valley.
Gesture, This formation looks remarkably like a popular finger gesture
Landscape, Sandstone cliff

Window, A large gap between cliff formations
Mitten, This is one of the 'mittens', perhaps the most well-known landmarks in Monument Valley.
The Mittens, The two 'mittens' and a third mesa makes for a spectacular view.
Expanse, This photo captures the vast expanse of Monument Valley better than any other.
