While I was captivated by the beauty of Monument Valley, I was just as intrigued by the human tourists who visit the park. Coming from all over the world to visit the Southwest, they come, cameras in hand. I was so intrigued that I visited the valley a second time, on a rainy day, just to see what the tourists were up to. So here’s at look behind the scenes at Monument Valley. I hope you enjoy the views of them as they enjoyed the views of the park.

Interesting perspective! I do the same thing while traveling. I LOVE to watch people in Art Museums. So many people walk right by amazing works of art while on their phones! (Of course, after looking at the art, I’m people-watching, so I’m just as guilty!) Great post and photos!
Thanks, I saw the work of one photographer who was photographing the other photographers in a war zone. It completely changed the way I viewed the conflict.

Interesting, Russ. I usally try to cut the tourists OUT of my photos, but I like your images here. Especially the dog. 😉
Thanks Ruth, the dog was a personal favorite.
Nice pictures! This reminds the great shots from Martin Parr. When I manage to take a distance from myself (and not playing the typical tourist, which I do too), I also enjoy taking pictures from the people in front of any touristic place, that might come to really funny situations 🙂
Martin Parr definitely took some crazy shots. It is fun just catching people doing their regular thing. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
Wow, it looks like such an amazing view!! One of those places you need to see with your own eyes.
It truly was good to experience the place firsthand.
