"We stopped at Goulding's Lodge for lunch after visiting Monument Valley. I wanted to capture one last photo before leaving, so I started scouting for a good location. After encountering several unwanted objects in my viewfinder, I sat down on a bench and smiled. To my surprise, the wagon wheel and railing blocked the objects and gave me the picture I was looking for!"
