Wow! Beam me up Scotty! A great picture of mother natures beautiful work. Is there dust in the air picking up the light or is it something you set on your camera? #689979

Kevin Eddy July 12, 2007

LOL, it does look like that doesn't?

The light beams come streaming in at mid day, but the guides will throw up some sand to emphasis the effect. Very cool place! #4502162

Kevin Eddy October 07, 2007

Thank you all for your positive responses!!
This shot was taken on the Summer Solstice which the sun is as far overhead as it gets. We "stumbled" into the time by chance, shooting Monument Valley and needed something to do in the middle of the day. This fit the bill!! If you're ever in the area, spend the extra few dollars to get the Photographers tour!! The guides hold back the traffic and really help the photogs to get good shot. Throwing dirt in the light beams, etc.!!
