Gulliver's Sling Shot


Although not known for its rock arches Monument Valley has quite a few in the back canyons.

Nice composition, I like how the shadow at the base of the arch matches the shape of the tree.

Dan...you are on a great walkabout if these pictures are any indication of where you have been.

I like the composition of this with tree backlit from the rock. A agree with Warren on how nice the shot because you got the tree to frame the opening in the rock.

I think that arch is called: "Ear of the Wind", but I don't think anyone has named the tree. I think they should use your name (Gulliver's Slingshot) from now on :).

Warren good recollection of this rock formation. You should consult with the various guide companies.

Dan, we have not been there. When we were in Monument Valley, we did not hire guide to go out back. I did a Google search and found the name of that arch. :).
