In "Monument Valley," Glen Wilbert photographs the long approach highway to Monument Valley, the two-lane road running straight from the foreground to a far rise where the buttes and mesas line the horizon under a wide, clear sky.
The image is rendered in black and white, with the dark road and its dashed center line drawing the eye from the bottom of the frame to the distant rock formations. Glen shot from the center of the highway so the lanes taper to a point near the horizon, the scrub-dotted desert spreading flat on either side and the iconic buttes clustered small along the skyline. The deep tonal range, from black asphalt to pale sky, gives the picture its graphic clarity. A faint contrail crosses the upper sky.
This view, on the highway approaching the Utah-Arizona border, is one of the most recognized road-trip scenes in the American West. It is a central image for the When in Roam project and its open-road theme.
In black and white, the composition is built on line and perspective: a single road tapering toward the buttes on the horizon.
