Nature nominee

I came to Monument Valley in Arizona with no idea what to expect and maybe little skeptical. You know...Hollywood. Two days later (feeling like a true explorer discovering uncharted territory) I left this desert landscape, where rock is sculpted and dead trees talk, speechless and inspired, hoping only to come back. It's grand and very intimate, distant and warm, seductive and aloof. All at the same time.
