East and West Mittens at Sunrise in Monument Valley Panorama

The East and West Mittens are silhouetted against a dramatic sunrise in Monument Valley, Arizona.

Upon waking up in Monument Valley, I climbed out of my tent in my pajamas, looked up toward my car and saw a rather large group of photographers trying not to stare back down at me. Apparently the primitive campgrounds at Monument Valley Tribal Park also doubles as the most scenic spot to take photography tours. I can’t blame them though, it was a very scenic location and the sunrise was quite scenic that morning.
