Concert at Big Hogan - Monument Valley - Navajo Nation

I understand this to be Big Hogan cave / amphitheater. We are south of Thunderbird Mesa on private Tribal land. Two tours were already here when we arrived. A Diné woman was singing when we arrived. A Diné man then played the Navajo Flute and sang. Our Diné Guide - Jim Madison - played drum and sang a beautiful Diné song. There is a big hole in the roof and you can see the light on the wall.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor.[1] It is located on the Utah-Arizona state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley is a sacred area that lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation, the Native American people of the area.[2]

Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."[3]

Wish I had brought an ND filter. Just too much contrast and I did not correct properly. Everything was happening fast. If you go, be prepared. I'm not sure how to shoot this without blowing out the background.
