This is a late afternoon photo of El Capitan, not to be confused with the grant wall in Yosemite National Park, California. The Navajo name is Agathlan. El Capitan/Agathlin is a volcanic plug. Several million years ago a volcano erupted, While the volcano became dormant the volcano was eroded away and all that remained was the cooled lava that formed the rock formation that you see in the photograph. The "plug" is much harder than the rock that formed the volcano.

El Capitan is about 25 million years old and is 1,436 feet tall. Sometimes El Capitan is called Church Rock. The direction is to the North. Its location is between Keyenta, Arizona along the highway then lye would take to get to the entrance of Monument Valley.

The clouds have the appearance that they were moving, was this a time lapse photo?

Damm, that is a great composition, and the light is enviable.
