Afternoon Storm Crossing Monument Valley, from Cedar Mesa

This photo was taken of a mid-afternoon storm rolling across Monument Valley.

I was standing in a tiny corner of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area up on Cedar Mesa (near Muley Point). From this point, Monument Valley was 20 miles distant.

Its worth checking out the large size here!
