It
was an early morning start as we wanted to be at Junction Overlook for sunrise
which was at about 0650. We were rewarded with an enjoyable morning of
photography. We photographed items on the rim---

as
well in Canyon de Chelly. On this trip I was able to see and photograph First
Ruin and Square House Ruin in morning light from above. I had not really seen them
when I had visited Junction Overlook in the afternoon as they are in shade.

We
had a quick breakfast back at the Lodge after checking out of our room.
Then
it was off to Window Rock, Gallup, N.M. and Albuquerque. The light was not particularly good today as there were lots of
clouds in the sky. So Window Rock was not particularly striking.

Wonderful morning light on this magical landscape. I could live here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is always nice to be rewarded for getting up early.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful place and has a certain quality about it that wants you to go back.
We will return again.
