Finding Your North Star - a photo on Flickriver

            The universe seems to revolve around Tsé Bit A'í ( Navajo Name ) or Shiprock as it is more commonly known. 

Shiprock or ( Tsé Bit A'í ) is a volcanic plug that rises 1583 feet above the desert floor. It was formed thousands of feet below the earths surface some 27 million years ago, but erosion has exposed it after millions of years. 

Tsé Bit A'í the Navajo name means "rock with wings" or "winged rock" refers to the legend of the great bird that brought the Navajo from the north to their present lands. The name "Shiprock" or Shiprock Peak or Ship Rock derives from the peak's resemblance to an enormous 19th-century clipper ship

Shiprock and the surrounding land have religious and historical significance to the Navajo people. It is mentioned in many of their myths and legends. Foremost is the peak's role as the agent that brought the Navajo to the southwest

This was taken during a workshop with a Navajo Guide and permit. 

The North Star is situated just above the peak of shiprock. The North Star will stay stationary while all the other stars appear to rotate around it.
