The view from Hunts Mesa is the quintessential vision of the West: vistas as far as the eye can see, human habitation almost an afterthought, and dwarfed by the enormity of the landscape. Arroyos, canyons, mesas, draws, washes, tanks. A place so alien that it even requires its own language to describe it. A land with its own rules and laws, completely impersonal, and universally enforced, without rancor or a second thought.

Dawn arrives at Monument Valley in this view from Hunt’s Mesa. It’s a long, precarious drive up in a high clearance four wheel drive vehicle, with a Navajo guide, usually done the day before, in order to shoot the sunset, which is also breathtaking. You can overnight, with a five o’clock wake-up in order to dress, grab a cup of coffee, get the camera gear together and trudge out to the northernmost point. It can get pretty cold, depending upon the time of year, and there is usually some fumbling with gloved fingers as you adjust your tripod and the camera controls, getting ready for the shot. This view makes it all worth it. Have a great week, everyone!

Dear friends,
I just got back from a great weekend in London.
This year, at the Destinations Holiday & Travel Show, at Olympia, my picture from the Hunt’s Mesa was selected for being exhibited, as finalist in the Wanderlust Travel Photographer of The Year Competition.

That view is from a stunning sunset on the Monument Valley, photographed from the remote rock formation known as The Hunt’s Mesa. You can visit this amazing place only with the help of a Navajo guide which will drive you on a jeep along the most amazing and rugged way you could ever imagine.

A 4am start to get to the top of Hunts Mesa resulted in one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen, difficult to do justice in a photograph.
