Rising nearly 1,583 feet above the high-desert plain of the Navajo Nation, this massive “winged rock” and jagged backbone is one of the most unique features I’ve ever seen.

Obviously I took some creative liberties here as the shot was taken with my drone and the lightning captured from the ground and blended. An amazing morning and experience.
