Monument Valley, on the Arizona - Utah border, gives us some of the most iconic and enduring images of the American Southwest. The harsh empty desert is punctuated by many colorful sandstone rock formations. It can be a photographer's dream to capture the ever-changing play of light on the buttes and mesas. Even to the first-time visitor, Monument Valley will probably seem very familiar. This rugged landscape has achieved fame in the movies, advertising and brochures. It has been filmed and photographed countless times over the years. If a movie producer was looking for a landscape that epitomizes the Old West, a better location could not be found. This picture of Rain God Mesa was photographed from the Monument Valley Road north of Kayenta, Arizona, USA.

Valley of Fire State Park is a public state park and nature preservation area covering about 19,000 ha located 26 km south of Overton, Nevada. It is a popular Las Vegas day trip. Amazing red sandstone formations, beautiful natural arches, ancient petroglyphs an hour drive outside of Vegas. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays. It is Nevada's oldest state park, as commemorated with Nevada Historical Marker 150. It became a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
