Shiprock Evening

[BarryHamilton]

Two hours after the shot at Agathla Peak, I made it to my penultimate stop of the day, 30 April.
From US 64, and about 6.5 miles distant, Shiprock in the gloaming. Like Agathla Peak, another sharp butte just popped up out of the flat grasslands.
Not quite the peak of sunset color, that came on US 491 after turning the corner in the town of Shiprock. (See that image several posts ago.)
Anyway, the light and sky were attractive enough to pull off the Hwy for a shot, I thought.

Very nice and well worth a pull off

Yup - I'd pull over for that one too. The subdued lighting work well for this scene.

I like the soft coloring in this, very pastel feeling Barry. Was this as close as you got? Or did you drive up to it and get closer shots of it?

This, and the later sunset shot were as close as I got this trip. I did make it around to the south side back in January, much closer.

Beautiful. I have been wanting to see this with my own eyes!
