Hello James,
These buttes(happy I do not have to pronounce it) look a bit like mega-hats. Most interesting point of view and very educational photo(educational photographer's note as well).

Again an interesting topography James, the stratified nature of the buttes certainly removes the possibility, but those buttes really resemble partly eroded volcanic, i.e., magmatic chimneys my friend. Good scene indeed!

Hi James,
Wow........Outstanding shot again from the sky. The wild west with its red soil is beautifully presented and the warm lighting helps in getting that glow. The buttes look awesome and they really are amazing formations. Excellent DOF and POV to portray this incredible Plateau. Tony definitely will love this dedication. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Wonderful view of the Monumental Valley from the air, James. The depth of view is excellent.
I keep on wondering which part of the world you have NOT been to and feel envious (even jealous) of you :-)!
TFS and regards.

Despite all my travels in southwest, I avoided the Valley because it is so touristic. Is that the visitor's center on the right. Great colors and composition.
