It's difficult not to be conflicted even when greeting a breathtaking sunrise in Monument Valley, in Navajoland. On the one hand, I'm grateful to experience the moment, but on the other hand I cannot help but feel sorrow for the Navajo people who have suffered so much throughout recent history, not the least of which is the devastation that the pandemic wreaked on them. They are a resilient people, and I hope to return to their beautiful lands and experience their generous hospitality again. Photographed August 2021.
