Hunt's Mesa

Navajo Nation, Navajo County, Arizona view map

Never have 4 guys dropped their food mid-bite and make a dash for their cameras (on the camera tree, of course)
so quickly as when this glorious bit of sunset light (finally) lit up the scene. This opportunity to catch the light here
made the trip worth the effort and expense. My thanks to Glenn for keeping a sharp lookout. Not just a hat rack....

And, for those who haven't already seen this, the famed camera tree....

Nice to prove some worth; other than holding my hat.
Great capture of that fleeting light Sam.

that was an electric moment, and your response clearly quick and precise...wondrous gradation of light from west to east...well worth the trip, and the subsequent return to the cold dinners...V

Outstanding view and neat camera tree! VT!

A great idea to show the two images together along with the story. A wonderful capture of that rare golden light wafting over Monument Valley below. ~BV~

A fantastic show of light and a beautiful image Sam. Not only is the camera
tree adorned with expensive ornaments but a very practical solution to a
dusty environment too. V
