I almost did not make the trip up to Monument Valley due to the road conditions. Yet I felt a very strong force pushing me to make the trip. I was a little disappointed yesterday when I arrived after driving in the snow for three plus hours and found no snow at all at Monument Valley. Even in 21 degree temps this particular morning I was grinning from ear to ear when I found the valley dusted with snow. I think the photography Gods were smilin' down on me
As I stood mesmorized at the sight of the Canyon before me, I could not help but wonder how many people, photographers, sunrises, & storms has this old gnarly tree witnessed. I almost felt that I should pay homage to it in order to pass by. One thing is certain, that old gnarly tree is still standing guard over Yaki Point. Image made at Yaki Point, Grand Canyon
