Monument Valley late sunset | Limited Edition of 10
Monument Valley at Sunset – Iconic Buttes in Twilight
This breathtaking sunset photograph of Monument Valley at sunset captures the iconic silhouette of the towering buttes against a sky painted with soft hues of gold and amber. The last light of the day gently caresses the land, highlighting the rugged terrain and casting long shadows that stretch across the desert floor. Each of the three massive buttes stands tall, their forms etched against the fading light, timeless and steadfast. The seemingly endless landscape draws your eye toward the horizon, where the sky melts into the earth in a seamless transition of light and shadow.
What strikes me most about this scene is its quiet, almost reverent beauty. The stillness of the valley at this hour, when the sun dips below the horizon and the sky takes on its soft twilight tones, feels almost sacred. The textures of the rocky buttes are subtly illuminated, revealing their ancient, weathered surfaces, shaped by eons of erosion. It’s a scene that speaks of time, endurance, and the unchanging nature of the land in contrast to the fleeting light of the sunset.
There’s a small road winding through the valley, barely noticeable, with what appears to be a single vehicle parked in the distance, giving a sense of scale to the grandeur of the buttes. It’s a reminder of how vast and untamed this place is, a landscape that dwarfs any human presence. This image, taken just at the edge of nightfall, captures the valley in a peaceful, contemplative state—a place where time seems to stand still.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
