Sun dropping behind a sandstone butte near Moab. That backlit edge where light wraps around the rock is the whole shot.

Another horizon worth chasing.

Sunrise at Chaco Canyon. Found a gap in the ancient masonry and waited. The starburst lasted maybe a minute before the angle changed.

Thanks for taking a moment to look.

The sun rising through a gap in an ancient stone wall at Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico, creating a starburst of light against a clear blue sky, with the canyon’s sandstone cliff face visible above the masonry.

Camp light in Page, AZ. A prickly pear in full magenta with a bud rising beside it, the last sun lighting the spines. The bloom feels earned after a long dry year.

A close view of a vivid magenta prickly pear cactus flower in bloom, with a smaller pink bud beside it. The flower's center holds a cluster of pale pink filaments. The cactus pad is covered in long, dense tan spines. Behind it, more spined cactus and dry golden-brown grasses sit in warm, low-angle light, falling out of focus.

Monument Valley. The classic shot lines up all three formations, but I framed just two… East Mitten on the left, Merrick Butte on the right… to give them more room and presence. That big streaky sky did the rest.

A wide view of Monument Valley under a large sky streaked with white clouds. Two red sandstone buttes stand on the desert plain: East Mitten Butte on the left, with a slender thumb-like spire, and the broad, fortress-like Merrick Butte on the right. Red desert scrub and a pale sand dune fill the foreground, with hazy mesas on the distant horizon.
