Sunrise in Monument Valley

Regardless of the added effects it was sunrise on a cold February morning. The two large silhouettes across the bottom are called The Mittens, and if you look close you'll see that each monolith has a thumb rising from one side. Monument Valley is in the SouthEast corner of Utah on the Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona borders.

You have made that sunrise look more picturesque with your editing Doug. The mittens raising the thumb to greet the sun!

Gosh this is really good Doug, the textures, and the overall image really draw my attention, and just makes me want to sit, and study it.

The early settlers gave them good names or was it the Native Americans?
The texture adds mystery to your photo, Doug.
Silhouettes are superb.

The texture compliments the sunrise and silhouettes nicely, Doug.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

This is a fine artwork Doug. It is like you engraved the scene in tattered wood.
