description: Cinematic in scale, Harvey Lloyd's aerial photographs beautifully capture the magnificent sacred lands of the Southwest - the desert, the uplands, and the plateau areas of the Southwest region of the United States. This phenomenal landscape, a natural and miraculous recording of millennia, remains unique in the world in its ever-changing yet eternal vistas. Principal photography takes place above the spectacular region of the Colorado Plateau, the roughly 50,000-square-mile area surrounding the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado.Also featured are the dramatic land formations at national parks, including the Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, and Arches; traces of ancient Native American ruins at Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly; remarkable present-day native american pueblos; and natural phenomena, like sunsets and snowstorms, that take on a wondrous power from the surrounding lands.
