Known to the Navajo as Tse Bit a ‘i, rock with wings or winged rock. The feature is governed by the Navajo Nation and plays a significant role in Navajo religion, myth and tradition. The name “Shiprock” derives from the peak’s resemblance to an enormous 19th century clipper ship. I had the opportunity to photograph the site during my recent trip to Mesa Verde National Park to view the annular eclipse.
Image was captured just before sunset which provided near horizontal lighting on the peak.

On my recent trip to Mesa Verde National Park for the Annular Eclipse, I took a tour of the Cliff Palace dwellings. These constructions are absolutely amazing and worth seeing first hand.

Who knows what you might find when you connect to the web…or, what might find you.
This image seems appropriate as I sit at my computer an watch the blizzard outside my window. With winds gusting to 65 MPH and blinding snow, I glad was able to arrive home safe this afternoon. At times the visibility was less than 100 feet which made driving dangerous. Hopefully things will be better by the time I have to venture out tomorrow morning.
Although I took over 100 images for this event, this is my favorite of all. I love the look on the young racer’s face and the adult is obviously having a good time also.
