Last light on the 'Sacred Mesa' under a monsoonal sky, as Paul highlights, wherein the formation catches the light similarly several times each year. This photograph was taken nearly a mile away, with the 'Sacred Mesa' measuring roughly 100 yards high and 400 yards wide, as seen here near Bluff, Utah, US.
