I like Big Buttes..... and I can not lie.
<html>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hi fellow nature fans. &nbsp;I've got one hell of a busy day today, so I need to make this one quick. &nbsp;That being said, I'll let the photos do most of the talking.... which is a good thing, because I'm having to restrain myself hardcore from making butte/butt puns, but please, feel free to make your own in the comment section. lol</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These are several of my favorite butte photos I took while driving through the quintessential wild west landscape of Monument Valley in southern Utah. &nbsp;If they look familiar, its because they've been the backdrop to countless movies, tv shows, and commercials. &nbsp;Here we go:</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent.fabe1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19029699_1560602420625417_3830610171657474727_n.jpg?oh=1100cdad134f05bd217984bf9b068660&amp;oe=59E06615" width="750" height="485"/><br>
^^^One of my favorite compositions. &nbsp;In fact, I even did an oil painting based off of this scene. One of the famous mitten buttes on the lefthand side.</p>

^^^ A wider shot of the area as we were leaving. &nbsp;Check out the bonus rainbow we got as we exited. &nbsp;It's faint, but it's there!</p>

^^^Another mitten butte.</p>

^^^Taken from the car window as we zipped by. &nbsp;Perfect, picturesque sky was a nice compliment. &nbsp;Also notice how some of the sandy ground cover changed colors from area to area. &nbsp;Some of the earlier photos have almost yellow sand in certain spots.</p>

^^^ I believe this guy was called Camel Butte. &nbsp;I could kind of see it.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent.fabe1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18951082_1560602547292071_1850559548030629658_n.jpg?oh=27bfff078a0df8e21dd966434177188b&amp;oe=59E1FF0D" width="750" height="498"/><br>
^^^These three columns are known as The Three Sisters. &nbsp;I also recall hearing something about them being a nun and two pupils. &nbsp;In Iceland, these undoubtedly would be thought to have been trolls.</p>

^^^And a nice panorama to round things off. &nbsp;This is a textbook representation of Monument Valley.</p>
