Radiant Landscape

And, what makes this photo "radiant"? It is the uranium ore that mining companies have been lobbying the Interior Department and Executive Branch for the right to extract. The President's Executive Order eliminating it's National Monument status has "Nothing to do with uranium ore and the mining companies" says President Trump.
Why do I doubt the truthfulness of that claim?

This cropped photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1:4 f=150mm lens and B+W 67E KR15 2.3x filter using Rollei RPX 25 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
