Description
Monument Valley, home to some of the most recognizable icons of the desert Southwest, covers an area of 40 by 50 miles. This famous valley in Navajo Country was introduced to Americans as a backdrop for many of Hollywood's western movies and countless television commercials.
The Mittens, as well as other valley buttes and mesas, rise up hundreds of feet from the valley floor near border of Utah and Arizona. Known to the Navajo as The Big Hands, this pair of buttes are one of the most popular sights on the 17 mile self guided tour route.

If there is such a thing as "perfect", this work would qualify. Love the way you set the composition up and the focus and depth of field is great.

I love this and the title. It's perfect!! What a beautiful photo of Monument Valley and the iconic spires. The dead tree adds to the mystery.
