Late

Another from Jan '19.
After the afternoon shooting in Monument Valley I raced down to Chinle in hopes of getting some sunset drama at Canyon de Chelly. Another wonderful place in Navajo land!
Alas, I arrived too late to catch Spider Rocks in late afternoon spotlight, but was treated to this scene.
The spot had moved back up-canyon to a smaller spire, lighting it beautifully and leaving the nearer canyon in lovely evening shadow.

I like the look of the canyon bottom with the blanket of snow. Getting direct light on the distant spire is a neat touch. That spire typically is too subdued a feature to capture much attention to the scene with Spider Rock.

Very nice Barry.

It certainly would have been a show stealer if Spider Rock had been lit up Barry, but this is still pretty nice.

Strange to see snow at the bottom but not at the top. Ususally, in the mountains, it's the reverse
