Parting Photo – Desert Solitaire

desert solitaire

Kevin Moloney (Jour’87) captured this scene in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park on the border of Utah and Arizona while on assignment for The New York Times. He says Monument Valley has an iconic view rarely captured at night. He did most of his photography under the cover of darkness. The foreground lights are cast by a passing car driving up from the valley floor. The park, operated by the tribe, was a popular set for Western films of the 1930s through the ’60s.
