Monument Valley "5" Star Photo

Every once in a while, I see something other than wildlife that is begging me for a photo. I never think of myself as a good landscape photographer. Landscapes to me are so vast and 3 dimensional, I usually think they are unphotographable. Yet, todays "5" Star Photo is a landscape taken at dawn in Monument Valley; one of my very few landscapes that I would call "5" Star.

Sunrises and Sunsets - Part I

The sunrises have been particularly beautiful the last few days. So, I thought I would share some of my sunrises and sunsets with you. I must start, however, by admitting that I am not a landscape photographer. Landscapes seem overwhelming to me; even unphotographable most of the time. It's not that I don't appreciate landscapes, I do. That's a huge reason why I spend time in the wilderness. It's just that I don't know how to really capture what I see. On my last trip up to Jackson County, Colorado, I passed through Monument Valley at 5:30 in the morning. It was just before sunrise. So, I pulled off to the side of the road and waited for a photograph. This is the result: Sunrise in Monument Valley.
