Clouds moved in and out on this day experiencing the park, which made for some good photo ops. This is part of a formation known as The Spectacles. You can see the entire formation here. I left the people in for perspective. Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA.

Very well done and we sure can get the sense of the size, with the people left in. I sure would like to go there one day, thanks for another fine image of this wonderland. tigs=^..^

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫

A beautiful shot, Ted. Well-lit, with no over-exposed spots, and we can still see into the shadows. A good balance. And, as in your "Spectacles" image, the silhouettes of the people visiting the site shows its size well. I know I'm always giving you suggestions (and you're always free to tell me to bugger off :), but the only one I'd have would be to remove that yellow sign at the bottom... a little too much human intrusion into a lovely scene of our geologic history. Hopefully these arches will last longer than that "Apostle" the collapsed on the south shore of Australia (then again, it had ocean waves working on it and these arches have only rain and wind).

happy Trails

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
