Monumental Storm

Photograph by Emma Rogers , National Geographic Your Shot

While touring Arizona s Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Your Shot member Emma Rogers and her partner were undeterred from a day of sightseeing by the stormy weather sweeping the landscape. Here, a mass of thunderclouds hovers above the Mitten Buttes, a scene made more dramatic by a bolt of lightning. While it was a lucky shot, writes Rogers, I feel like it perfectly captured the atmosphere of the day.
