I was looking through a set of photos I took in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota back in September 2018 and I have no idea why this one didn't catch my eye back then. Some quick processing in Lightroom and here it is.
"Casting Light" ~ Taken on a beautiful, serene, summer evening in Monument Valley.
Nikon Z9, Z 24-70mm S lens at 24mm (DX crop on), f2.8, ISO100, 1/50 second
Why use DX crop in this situation? Because I forgot it was on 🤦
Thanks!
Spotted while wandering in the Abiquiu, New Mexico a few years back.

One more from my visit to Ironwood Forest National Monument earlier this week. Wouldn't mind spending some more time there in the future.

Took a break from the socials for a few days to do some wandering... I took this photo of Ragged Top during a visit to Ironwood Forest National Monument in Arizona.

"Hole In The Sky" ~ Taken on a crazy windy winter afternoon, the drama in the sky was off the charts that day as the clouds raced over the Organ Mountains.

👍
Slot canyon, New Mexico style. Different geology from the sandstone wonders of Arizona but beautiful in its own way.

Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona.
Since I've had visions of slot canyons in my head this week I thought I'd share what may be my favorite slot canyon photo, taken years ago in Lower Antelope Canyon.

Canyon X, a few miles up the road from Antelope.
Canyon X, in the Page, Arizona area.
It's been far too long since I've spent some time photographing a slot canyon... I took this during a visit to Canyon X (Navajo Nation in Arizona) back in April 2017.

Anywhere in particular?
Looking forward to getting back to the Sonoran Desert...

"Hoop Dreams" ~ Taken at a long ago shuttered schoolhouse in Central Kansas a few years ago.

I love it when the wings catch the light... Taken on a beautiful evening at Bosque del Apache's Wetland Roost last month.

Big Bend National Park has been on my mind the past couple of days... This is my favorite photograph I took there, way back in February 2019.

It's been a couple of days since I posted a sandhill crane pic so... I love the little bits of ice floating on the water, ice diamonds glistening in the evening light.

Big Bend National Park in Texas, a beautiful place I never quite captured to my satisfaction. But it's been a few years so maybe I need to take another crack at it...

Average photo of an awesome place taken years ago, Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. I definitely need to go back now that I have a few more years of photography under my belt since then.

I first photographed this building back in September 2016 (this photo is from that visit). I've returned several times over the years whenever I'm in the area, and each time it looks a bit different. Looking forward to checking it out once again in a couple of weeks.
Yes
Some scenes are made for black and white images... Taken in the middle of somewhere in Utah seemingly another lifetime ago...

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate :)
Taken while walking around Great Sands Dunes National Park & Preserve in Colorado a few years back.

I wonder if sandhill cranes know what drafting is? :)
Taken on a beautiful winter morning at Bosque del Apache's Wetland Roost last month.

"It's Gonna Be A Hot One" ~ One of the things I love about Monument Valley is even bald sky mornings can be pretty dramatic.
Nikon Z9, Z 24-70mm S lens at 51mm, f11, ISO100, 1/50 second
When we moved to New Mexico in 2013 I had no idea parts of it would look like this. Since autumn is my favorite time of year that worked out quite nicely. :)

I do not. Don’t know I’ve ever seen one (but I haven’t specifically looked for one).
