Default Monument Valley Archives

One of the premier travel magazines, Arizona Highways, is presenting a 4-day workshop in Flagstaff, Arizona next weekend. My children surprised me and are sending me on this excursion that includes time with a master photographer.

They have requested that each participant bring three photos to share and so I have spent the day going through the archives of my Monument Valley/Valley of the Gods trip last summer. I previously posted two of these but I thought you might enjoy them again...or even for the first time. I'll be sharing others this week. If you see one you think I should include in the "three", let me know.

These are Great Lindyanna! The 1st and the last ones are my picks.
What a wonderful gift from you Children! I hope that you have a really enjoyable time in Flag and we will look forward to your other candidates and your workshop results.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael

Linda, Wow! what a great opportunity to share experiences and learn from a master. My favorite of these postings has to be the buckboard shot, the HDR effect is a real eye catcher. I will be traveling through New England the next couple of weeks in hopes of nailing down some Autumn colors but will be watching for your greatest work to appear here. Sure hope i don't miss any.

Wow these are fantastic. I love the bubbles floating about in the first shot. I like the Buckboard Wagan and the photo of the wild horses looks like a painting. What a cute colourful lizard.

What great shots. I can't make up my mind which one I like the most. What a great gift from your children.

I'm not jealous. Nope. Not at all. Not one little bit.

What a wonderfule surprise present. I'll sure you'll love every minute of these.

Of these, I prefer the lizzard the most - the focus, detail and balance are all well done.

Picking just 3 will be tough, I imagine.

Wow! I don't know where to start...Oh yes I do, Can we switch children? I think I like yours better than mine. They give you nice trips and grandchildren! These are all great, I like them all, but of this set, I think the first is my favorite. I just love that big white majestic cloud with the grey one wisping by in front of it centered between those two peaks and the bubbles adding a magical twist to it.
