CORRECTS SPELLING OF PHOTOGRAPHER'S LAST NAME TO STARINSKAS, NOT STAIRNKSAS - A sunset spectacle featuring two mitten-shaped rock formations crosses Monument Valley Tribal Park from the Visitors Center in Oljato-Monument Valley, Az. on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The sunset spectacle featuring two mitten-shaped rock formations played out this week at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation, bordering Arizona and Utah. Twice a year, in late March and mid-September, spectators, photographers and videographers get a visual treat. As the sun sinks, the West Mitten Butte's shadow crawls across the desert valley floor before climbing up the side of the East Mitten Butte. (AP Photo/Vyto Starinskas)
