Guys as I said, what Dan said though harsh, was good for me to hear, it will help me improve (I hope), but I do appreciate you guys making sure I wasn't getting bashed.

Nice drama – also reminds me of Devils Tower and the Close Encounters movie!

Another bucket list location. Very nice photo op. I would be interested to know which road you were on, if any.
I enjoyed this, thanks.

Thanks folks,
Jmarmck, it is in Canyonlands NP (islands in the sky) about a 1/2 mile walk from the green river overlook

Ok, I knew where it was just not the specifics. I am hoping for a trip within a year. Might hit Shiprock while I am at it. The only question is whether to drive and take the scenic route, from Georgia, or fly into Las Vegas and rent a vehicle.

Critiques can be good or bad. Do you want to make pictures that the critic likes? If yes, then it'd be useful to hear his or her opinion. If not....

Or they can be objective and neither good nor bad. See Vaughn's critique here:

Robert, this is one of those places on my bucket list. I had no idea there was a road going up into the mountain. Would love to see the finished product.

I drove by Shiprock last week. I'm no expert on the place, but I would guess that unless you have a lot of time to spend there to get to know it, other places in the desert southwest (Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches/Canyonlands) would provide far more varied opportunities for good images. If you want to get a little off the beaten tourist path, try the San Rafael Swell.

In addition, my understanding is that to approach Shiprock one should obtain permission from the Navajo tribal member who has grazing rights where you wish to travel - perhaps Robert can address this. The other places I've suggested are parks and monuments that belong to all of us, so you are free to travel where you wish in those places. They also have amenities like bathrooms, water, emergency services, etc. Not that those are necessary, but one must be prepared to fend entirely for one's self at Shiprock as near as I can tell.
