The Mittens of Monument Valley

I had hoped for some thunderclouds to form the afternoon I made this image but as you can see, nothing but blue sky and endless desert.  As a huge western movie fan, I felt as if I had just entered one of John Ford's epic movie sets and a small part of me expected John Wayne to ride up from the valley below to greet me.  O.k., that didn't happen but the memory of this day in Navajo country will stay with me forever, just like those classic western movies.
