Cathedral Temples

Nestled in the Cathedral Valley are the Temples of the Moon and Sun, captured in this shot (right, left respectively). Access to the area is limited to summer, as the 4WD road is closed in winter. I joined up with fellow photographer, Dustin LeFevre, to capture this scene, and we arrived at an opportune time, just as the sun broke through a cloud layer shining brilliant light on the Temple of the Moon.
