Navajo National Monument

Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 21 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A view of the Navajo National Monument area from one of the roadway vista points. I tried to compress the view by using my 70-200mm zoom lens. This area is spectacular and I could have spent a couple days here, there are so many features that catch your eye from the landscape forms to the trees an vegetation.

Your series remind me so many things. I also went there in 1978 with my parents. I was 14 years old. What an unforgettable trip it was. I still see all these wonderful landscapes when I close my eyes.

what a beautiful expanse: and I love the sharpness throughout the image, and your composition is very strong. Great job!

The colors are stunning, Scott. A wonderful choice of lens, too. I agree that there is so much to see in this area that it is difficult to know how to compose each photograph. You have done a spectacular job here! In this one I love the long view, but to me the little tuft of grass in the left foreground is just that perfect thing to catch my attention & start my eye going into the background.

Your picture captures the "so big" and the "so beautiful" that its almost hard to believe it unless you see it with your own eyes! I can't wait.

Good morning Scott, I shoot very little once the sun has risen. You have demonstrated with this image that beautiful images are possible in full sunlight - well done! BTW - my office is just about empty and ready for the renovation project to begin.
