I was fortunate to be able to attend a photo workshop last week up in Monument Valley - and the timing included a semi-rare event: the "Mitten Shadow", where the shadow of West Mitten falls on East Mitten just at sunset. These occur twice a year (September & March) and last perhaps 3-4 days before the shadow is off to the side. The hardest part is getting a day where it's clear to the West with nice clouds to the East.
Of course, Monument Valley is an amazing place, even without a special event..
And lest we forget, people live there, too..
