Piece description from the artist
I captured this rare and fleeting moment as sleet, hail, and even snow, swept across Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Arizona, falling softly around Merrick Butte, with the iconic East Mitten Butte peeking around behind it. Low desert bushes anchor the foreground, adding scale and texture to the scene as the weather quickly transformed the landscape.
The spring storm arrived suddenly, shifting from hail to sleet and then brief snowfall, an unforgettable and highly unusual sight in the desert. A gentle, mystical haze settled over the valley, softening the rugged rock formations and muting the normally warm desert colors. Experiencing this rare weather event in Monument Valley felt truly special, and I was grateful to witness and photograph such a brief, unexpected moment in one of the Southwest’s most iconic landscapes.
