Description
Towering red cliffs encircle a lush green valley, bathed in sunlight under a sky dotted with fluffy clouds. The expansive landscape presents a striking contrast between the arid rock formations and the vibrant vegetation below.
Canyon de Chelly National Monument was established on April 1, 1931, as a unit of the National Park Service. Located in northeastern Arizona, it is within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation and lies in the Four Corners region. Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, it preserves ruins of the indigenous tribes that lived in the area, from the Ancestral Puebloans to the Navajo.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
