Last fall Larry Calof and I went down to Monument Valley.  We made arrangements with Tom Phillip’s guide company to camp the night on Hunt’s Mesa.  It’s a long, bumpy drive up there.  Last time I went I hiked up and back.  We were a bit concerned that the weather would prove too cloudy like the last time we were there, but a small snow squall passed quickly and left us with some very nice light. We shot till nearly dark.  Had dinner fixed by the guides and then hit the sack.  We were up early for sunrise and were again rewarded with good light and a nice sky.  We had a quick breakfast and then drove back down to the Visitor’s Center.  After a relaxing lunch we met our guide for our afternoon Photo Tour.  We spent most of the time in Mystery Valley and then made it over to the Teardrop for sunset.  Overall a very nice trip.  We had friends that were on Hunt’s Mesa the next night who only had clear skies.  What a difference a day makes.  Here’s one of the sunset shots I took on Hunt’s Mesa.

The rest of the images are in the image catalog at Monument Valley Oct 2011.  I hope you enjoy them.

On a sad note, Tom Phillips passed away earlier this year.  I assume his family will keep running the guide business as they’ve been doing most of the work the last few years.
