31st - Big Country

Monument Valley, Utah

No internet access last night, so here is our pic for yesterday

John Ford scenery to a soundtrack of Stuart Adamson's Big Country - what an amazing day we had, Grand Canyon (couldn't see it for the mists and rain...seriously!!) and a five hour round trip to The Four Corner Monument...to find it was shut for reconstruction!! Still, seeing Monument Valley twice (on the way to and from the Four Corners) was absolutely worth it, an awe-inspiring place and somewhere I've wanted to visit since I was a little boy watching westerns with my dad...it didn't disappoint :o)

Oh, and just to cap it all, we were serenaded by the most fantastic thunderstorms all day and night long (pics to follow)...just fantastic :o)

Gorgeous capture, Doug. I'm jealous you got there before I did, and I live in this country! ;-) V

You got a good view, feels like to come closer though! The indians are still around!:) V.

I love the big sky!! Sorry you didn't have good views at the canyon, though. This environment always makes me feel very small and very full of awe. BV
