I've said  before, unusual weather brings about unusual photo opportunities; that was the case with this image.  The night before this image was taken, heavy rainfall covered much of the southwest.  Becuase much of the ground is covered in sandstone, this prevents absorption of the rain and creates flooding.  This storm carved 6 feet out of the bottom of Antelope Canyon, and left it's mark on Monument Valley with washed out roads and standing water everywhere.  That being said, this is an unusual image of Monument Valley, as you don't normally see East Mitten Butte reflected in water.

The image was captured on a Nikon D100 to Raw using a Nikkon 24-120 at 120 MM on a tripod, 1.8 Seconds, F/5.6, 200 ISO, no filters.  Post processing for contrast was done using Nikon Capture.
