This is Monument Valley in Southern Utah, U.S.A. The red sandstone monoliths on the horizon are named "The Mittens" The tiny area I'm shooting from is dedicated to John Ford, and I just stumbled across the marker while looking for some foreground material for this shot. He filmed many Western movies in and around this valley, most of which starred John Wayne.

Doug - The silhouette image is quite striking. There is some banding in the sky, one of the perils of post-photo processing bright sunlight. Thad

They should have a place dedicated to John Ford, Doug. He put those images into many young minds that have lasted a lifetime.
This is a lasting image as well. Good work.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Those deep dark silhouettes stand out nicely against that gorgeous sky, with almost a rainbow of colors, Doug. ...Ed

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Spectacular colours in the sky and nice silhouettes in the landscape. A wonderful looking image Doug. A nice softness in the photo.
