I took all the typical tourist photos when I visited Monument Valley. This is one of the most photographed places on earth. I played around with a few images and this an accidental result. It reminded me of a neo-noir film. Monument Valley is always viewed as the location for Western films, but tons of other types of movies have been shot there too. However, I don't recall seeing any neo-noirs featuring Monument Valley.
