I got up before sunrise everyday on my recent trip out West hoping for great clouds and fiery skies for landscape photos. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky on a single morning. And without the clouds, I usually resort to plan B — shooting the sun. This was in Monument Valley, another National Tribal Park on Navajo land in the southeast corner of Utah. Like yesterday’s post from Maroon Bells in Colorado, this is a location that gets photographed a lot — most notably as the backdrop to countless Westerns and Marlboro Man ads.

Plan B was successful for you. I hear for some folks it’s not.
Sean, I’m not sure that makes any sense. But nice photo.
I really like Plan B. Beautiful.
Dang…Hell of a plan B!
Sometimes plan is the better plan! Extraodinary!!!!
Holy cannoli! Thank you clear skies!
Don’t worship the sun Sean. That makes you a pagan warlord, and we can’t have that right now.
i’m not sure which is better – seeing these awesome pics everyday, or reading jim’s comments.
