Afternoon Sun. Canyon de Chelly. Nikon D200. Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8. 45mm (Equiv 67mm). ISO 800. 1/1000 at f/13. Copyright Joanne Mason 2012.

The Southwest is a landscape of drama and intensity, and at the same time warmth and a kind of softness. This is no more evident than when the late afternoon sun is shining across the land. This scene is atop the plateau leading to the rim of Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, the Canyon in the distance. The sun shining on the near clouds makes us tend to overloook what might be a storm forming on the horizon.
