I was surfing the web this morning and somehow ended up in YouTube, the universe’s online repository for all things video. I stumbled on a trailer for the upcoming movie of the Lone Ranger set for a 2013 release. Check out the image that appears at about 9 seconds.

Notice anything strange about this photo capture? It’s the diatreme of Shiprock in New Mexico sharing the Colorado Plateau with the buttes of MonumentValley on the Arizona-Utah line. They almost look like they belong together.

Only in Hollywood!


Here’s the link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlrQD8Kvk6M

For a bigger thrill (for all you Baby Boomer’s out there), here’s the original 1950's intro of the Lone Ranger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXRjuaEVK78
