    I'm an ageing Scotsman. When I was a teenager in the seventies I used to visit the cinema in our damp, dark, West Highland town every week and watch films like Electra Glide in Blue and Easy Rider. I'd dream of one day driving through Monument Valley, thundering along in a Mustang Fastback while listening to America's Horse With No Name - with my long hair blowing in the hot dry wind.
    Last year, in my mid-fifties, I eventually drove through Monument Valley. The hair was grey and thin, there was a thunder storm, and I was driving a Nissan Sentra hire car. But I did have Horse With No Name playing as I drove through the rain and lightning. And it was still a dream come true. Well worth a visit, and thanks to the Navajo people for a hospitable couple of nights in the valley. Maybe I'll get back there some day.

    Man, i love this movie of the Monument Valley. A nice couple of film shots made in this famous Navajo desert. I have respect for the Navajo Indians. The music of Ferde Grofé what calls 'The Painted Desert (Grand Canyon Suite II)' gives me a lot of goosebumps and a great smile. From timestamp 2:20 to timestamp 3:07, the music reminds me of the Finale of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story musical. Dear Christopher Swainhart, you have made and uploaded a very beautiful and colourful picture of the Monument Valley in fast motion from sunrise to sunset and moonrise. Like I wrote before, I love this movie!

      If you ever go there, you should try and spend the night at the View Hotel - but get a cabin. We stayed two nights in a cabin and it had absolutely the best view of the valley ( 2:50 in this video was precisely the view we had). Our verandah looked directly on to the"Mittens" - we could sit in comfort and watch the amazing sunset with a glass of wine. Beautiful. Actually, we still had a great view of the valley sitting on our bed in the cabin. A fantastic experience. We saw a lot of amazing sights travelling around but this was the best.

    The most beautiful place on Earth quite frankly, and the most peaceful. There is something absolutely primordial about this place, almost as in, if I stayed long enough I would become religious.
