These sure are excellent photos every one of them. Such beautiful detail. So well done....Rich
Thank you Rich! The images were solid captures from the camera in RAW format, then step by step processing from DPP to LR to DeNoise to post to Flickr.

Great colours excellent shots of the mountains.
Thank you Balbir! Although technically, these are buttes and mesas in the valley. A butte is an isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; buttes are smaller than mesas, plateaus, and table landforms.

All of them are excellent, but I especially like the composition and colors in the first one.
Thank you Kalskag2! I set up a tripod and captured images every 5-minutes or so for an hour as the sun went down. I have a few versions of the view from this location (images 1 & 2, above) with different lenses as I switched between two bodies. From this session there's one of a different rock form glowing red against a completely blue sky after sundown. I haven't posted that image yet. I'll have to see if the lens used matches to the purpose of this post showing the new 24-105L II in action.

Beautiful set and great write up.
Thank you randave2001! There's a few more images in Flickr with this lens and others and somewhat detailed captions although not every image has a completely unique capture / background detail.

Some more images with the new EF 24-105 f/4L IS II, this time from the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The park entrance is in Utah, but the most familiar rock formations are in Arizona. The site is not a national park, like nearby Canyonlands, in Utah, and the Grand Canyon, in Arizona; rather, the area is one of six Navajo-owned tribal parks. The Navajo lived in an area known today as the Four Corners, where Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico meet. They called Monument Valley - Tsé Bii Ndzisgaii, or Clearing Among the Rock.

Monument Valley was made famous in western movies by director John Ford. He shot Stagecoach in the valley staring John Wayne in 1939. The film won two Academy Awards and made Wayne a star; it also made the western a respected film genre. Legend has it that when John Wayne first saw Monument Valley, he declared: "So this is where God put the West."

Thanks Rob! These are a mixture of hand-held and tripod work keeping, of course, the best results.

Thanks Pkfish. It's a great visit. Although things are a couple hundred miles apart, there's plenty of other famous landmarks in the Four Corner's area, both inside and outside the Navajo Nation.
