"This lookout in the Cedar Mesa area of Southwestern Utah has an elevation of 5,715 feet. When I visit this sacred landscape, it’s easy to lose track of time watching the clouds pass and the light change across the landscape. The area in this particular view was included in the original boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument, but in December of 2017, President Trump gutted the monument’s 1.35M acres, reducing it by 85%. This land is no longer protected, and is now being leased for natural gas exploration. For more information on how to support Bears Ears, please visit Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA.org)." — David Benjamin SherryClouds and Shadow, Bears Ears National Monument, Utah, 2020
