Celestial Sentinels - The Milky Way Over Monument Valley
Monument Valley, located on the Arizona-Utah border, is renowned for its towering sandstone buttes and stunning desert landscapes. This iconic region has been featured in countless films and symbolizes the rugged beauty of the American Southwest.
Thus, Monument Valley became a highlight of our journey along the beautiful West Coast of America. Just before sunset, we searched for the perfect spot where the Milky Way would rise behind the iconic buttes. In August, thunderstorms are common, and we experienced them firsthand as large clouds rolled over the valley, bringing brief showers. However, there were moments when the sky cleared, giving us a chance to capture this stunning image of the Milky Way illuminating the famous rock formations of Monument Valley.
