Here are a few more images of Jetsonorama’s huge photo poster project on the Navajo Reservation. This time (hallelujah!), in color…
This perfect urban art canvas, made up of four tanks, you will find at Gray Mountain, about 40 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona on Highway 89, right on the border with the Navajo Nation. The woman in traditional dress on the right is Mary Williams, and at Jetsonorama’s link HERE, you can see a wonderful image of Lee and Effie Begay posing in front of the giant portrait. What do they have to do with the poster portrait? Well, Mary Williams is Effie’s aunt. Beautiful!

How about a better close-up shot of Mrs. Williams:

On the opposite side of the tanks is a two-word phrase–and very positive message–you can spot in many places across the Navajo Nation. I am not sure if this was done by Jetsonorama as it doesn’t quite look like his style. Still, a nice acclamation, if a bit weathered from the trials and tribulations of life itself:
