Shiprock – Navajo Nation, New Mexico – Mike Reyfman
Shiprock is an incredible monolith rising over 1,500 feet from the floor of the New Mexico desert. Interestingly enough it is the reaming throat of an ancient volcano. Mike captures it beautifully from the air. Please read Mike’s story below and then check out his portfolio here http://www.mikereyfman.com/intro.php
Enjoy!
Enter Mike:
Known today most commonly by the name Shiprock, the 1700-foot eroded volcanic plume is sacred to the Navajo People as Tse Bi dahi, or the Rock with Wings. This name comes from an ancient folk myth that tells how the rock was once a great bird that transported the ancestral people of the Navahos to their lands in what is now northwestern New Mexico. It was long planned aerial photo shoot over Shiprock. The power of the huge monolith was absolutely stunning…

wonderful. The history behind this is interesting.
Wow!
I’ve seen this from the highway, but this angle is much better! I am reminded of the covers of the Don Juan books by Carlos Castaneda, when I see the tones and shading of this photo.
