I like Big Buttes..... and I can not lie.

   Hi fellow nature fans.  I've got one hell of a busy day today, so I need to make this one quick.  That being said, I'll let the photos do most of the talking.... which is a good thing, because I'm having to restrain myself hardcore from making butte/butt puns, but please, feel free to make your own in the comment section. lol

    These are several of my favorite butte photos I took while driving through the quintessential wild west landscape of Monument Valley in southern Utah.  If they look familiar, its because they've been the backdrop to countless movies, tv shows, and commercials.  Here we go:

^^^One of my favorite compositions.  In fact, I even did an oil painting based off of this scene. One of the famous mitten buttes on the lefthand side.

^^^ A wider shot of the area as we were leaving.  Check out the bonus rainbow we got as we exited.  It's faint, but it's there!

^^^Another mitten butte.

^^^Taken from the car window as we zipped by.  Perfect, picturesque sky was a nice compliment.  Also notice how some of the sandy ground cover changed colors from area to area.  Some of the earlier photos have almost yellow sand in certain spots.

^^^ I believe this guy was called Camel Butte.  I could kind of see it.

^^^These three columns are known as The Three Sisters.  I also recall hearing something about them being a nun and two pupils.  In Iceland, these undoubtedly would be thought to have been trolls.

^^^And a nice panorama to round things off.  This is a textbook representation of Monument Valley.
