Apparently it's the exact same picture, only your's is from a greater distance. But in looking at the two, it's obvious the two mesas on the left are the same. Mine came from landscapes shown in Windows Photo Gallery - where is your's from, Mark?
I can't remember where I got it, Stumpy. I've had it for a while. I'm sure it was off the web somewhere. Here's another picture of basically the same shot (just a little to the right), but from the movie Stagecoach. Compare it to my desktop picture and you can see that not much has changed over the years. Wow.

What a difference a missing letter or an added letter can make! -
What a difference a missing letter or an added letter can make!
I know I often sound way too pedantic but I'm a good speller and when I see misspelled words, furnishing the correct spelling is an automatic reaction. -
This is what I have set as my desktop background. Look familiar to anyone?
Yeah, looks familiar to me for two reasons - (1) obviously Monument Valley, and we've all seen enough pictures of it around here to know it well, and (2) it's MY desktop wallpaper as well!!Do a Google search for images of Monument Valley - some spectacular photos of the place!

Monument Valley has to be one of the most desolate, yet majestic, looking places on Earth. There's a timeless quality to it - you just know it has been there forever and will still be there when we're long gone. It's like being in a huge church.

Talk about desolate, but beautiful!
Dusk? Dawn? I don't know the geography of the area, so I don't know what direction we are facing. I'm sure somebody here will have the answer! This picture is absolutely surreal.Chester

Is it possible to visit Monument Valley and see the old movie sets there ?
Or is there anything left to see in that regard. ?
I mean in an organised way....e.g. through a travel tour company ?
It's something I'd just love to do before I go to join the Duke and all those
other cowpokes across the Great Divide. -
Hi Johannes.
I have moved your post here.
You will find this thread interesting for you.
Some of Duke's classic westerns were made here,
and lots of the locations can be seen here.
There are tour companies, that offer trips,
but I am sure our member Chilbill,
could help you. -
Keith - thanks for relocating me with my query.
Glad I asked the question about a possible visit to Monument Valley because I've enjoyed so much the responses. It brought me back to a time when there was highly satisfying entertainment for a few pennies.
I just loved trawling through the replies. -
Any new members might be interested
in this thread relating to Monument Valley...
Side by side comparison -
The only Set that I saw on my last trip to Monument Valley a few Months ago was Duke's old Office that was in "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" that is at Goulding Trading Post Lodge !
