"The Bear and the Rabbit"

I shot this just before sunrise at Monument Valley. The Navajo call the name of this butte "The Bear and the Rabbit". I'm not sure where the bear comes in to play, but the rabbit is obvious.

It is quite common to see Navajo Indians selling their handmade jewelry throughout the four corners region of the southwest.  Not a bad place to work if you ask me.  This guy's view beats any cubicle I've ever worked at!

Highway 163 heads southwest towards the massive buttes of Monument Valley some 10 miles distant. The left side of this image is in Arizona and the right side is Utah. Movie aficionados may recognize this view of Monument Valley from the movie Forrest Gump. Shot right at sunrise.
