"Dawn at Rabbit Butte"

March 2012, Monument Valley, Arizona

I actually shot this image exactly at sunrise and not dawn, but because the sun is completely obscured by the butte I decided to name the image "Dawn at Rabbit Butte". The iconic sandstone monoliths of Monument Valley are enormous, much larger than pictures lead you to believe. The largest of the monuments are 1000 feet tall, roughly the size of a 100-story skyscraper. The pointy-eared varmint pictured here is close to that height.
