- Description:
- Aerial view looking down and across at enormous stone buttes with roads and small buildings near their base. Bright sunshine from low in the sky illuminates the buttes and makes their texture visible, and also makes the shadows both behind and in front of the very deep and dark. The buttes are in the upper left third of the image, a river or road stretches up fro the bottom of the frame to around back of the buttes. The top of a hogan, a round Navajo building, is visible amongst other small buildings toward the lower right of the frame, utterly dwarfed by the rocks.
