Honeymoon in Monument Valley, Utah

Hi all,
just wanted to share that last week I fulfilled a childhood dream of visiting Monument Valley. I managed to convince my now wife that after being married in Las Vegas last week we would drive to Monument Valley for our honeymoon.
It truly was as magical as I hoped it would be and even though we were there for 5 days it never stopped taking my breath away every morning.
Mustang trekking around the Mittens etc with a local guide was simply awe inspiring, I have never taken so many photographs in my life!
I was so inspired by the place that I set my alarm for 4am, much to my wife's dismay, to set up timelapse photography of the sunrise; every morning!
If you haven't been and you have a nostalgic affinity with the place through The Duke's films I cannot recommend going enough.
Back in the UK now, wishing I was still there!
All the best to all on the forum.
Regards,
Peter

I will upload pictures soon! Johnny Depp was there filming The Lone Ranger which was unexpected too!

Thanks Chester.

We watched The Searchers the day before leaving the UK so we were well set up. My wife is thankfully quite taken by The Duke having been subjected to many evenings of his films since we have been together. Photos to follow.

Thanks Keith,
Photos to follow shortly!

First pic, very nostalgic, shot from Goulding's Lodge

Not sure how to upload the images properly as thumbnails really don't do the shots justice.
I followed the instructions on the FAQs but know there's a way to get them bigger.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Peter

Wow! Thanks so much for this. We managed a Heli trip through the Grand Canyon so a Monument Valley one is something else!

The one way is to upload them to a host, such as Photobucket,
and to obtain an URL which you can then paste into the Images box
on your posts.
This is the way I place my images onto the forum.

Thanks so much Keith, I've signed up now and will be testing the water with a few images to see how it goes!
