Shiprock

Shiprock, Arizona view map

The Diné legend is that this rock formation is the remains of a giant bird the flew from the north
and landed at this spot. From the air you can see what looks like two giant wings that radiate
out from the rock outcrop.

Nice sky as a backdrop here. Yes, my only capture of this so far is from the air and the wings are clearly visible:

The scenic is great alright but you captured it in a manner that brought out the beauty of the landscape. Very nicely done!
