This was actually my third trip to Arizona, but my first real to explore the northern part of the state.
In my traveling, I could not miss Monument Valley since this is an American Iconic area. Over shot area maybe, but no one can stay of ice in front of what is offered to you. The first day of wandering and shooting was great; full of surprises and opportunities. The end of that day was simply spectacular in terms of light. For us, northern living souls (Montreal), this was not ordinary. So I worked hard to catch this wonderful golden light showing all the land relief. One of my goal was to try, by including some elements in the near foreground, to give a feeling of "being there"; maybe tough to see on a small size reproduction at 750 pix wide. You tell me.
