Monument Valley, on the Arizona - Utah border, gives us some of the most iconic and enduring images of the American Southwest.  The harsh empty desert is punctuated by many colorful sandstone rock formations.  It can be a photographer's dream to capture the ever-changing play of light on the buttes and mesas.  Even to the first-time visitor, Monument Valley will probably seem very familiar.  This rugged landscape has achieved fame in the movies, advertising and brochures.  It has been filmed and photographed countless times over the years.  If a movie producer was looking for a landscape that epitomizes the Old West, a better location could not be found.  This picture of Rain God Mesa was photographed from the Monument Valley Road north of Kayenta, Arizona, USA.

The Ajo Mountain Drive offers breathtaking views of the unique Sonoran Desert landscape, featuring a variety of flora and fauna. Two of the standout features of the area are the Organ Pipe Cactus (Stenocereus thurberi) and the Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). The Saguaro stands tall, often reaching heights of 40 feet or more and living up to two centuries. Its characteristic silhouette, adorned with 'arms' reaching towards the sky, serves as a testament to its endurance in harsh desert conditions.  In contrast, the Organ Pipe Cactus thrives in clusters, its slender stems resembling a congregation of organ pipes, hence its name. This cactus species flourishes in rocky terrain, its multiple stems serving as water reservoirs to survive extended periods of drought.  These two are endemic to the Sonoran Desert and found nowhere else in the world.  This scene , which includes Mount Ajo and Tillotson Peak, was photographed from the Ajo Mountain Drive in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument south of Ajo, Arizona, USA.
