Description
Not wishing to steal the thunder from Claude (Photosynthesis), who has put up his own spectacular pics of The Arches National Park, but I couldn't resist the temptation to back up his wonderful work with my own attempt.
This formation is in the Arches National Park of Utah, USA. There are over 2000 catalogued arch formations in this park which were formed by water, ice, extreme temperatures and underground salt movement plus 100 million years of erosion. Old arches are falling and new ones are forming in the ongoing process. The stone is sandstone.
American Indians used this area for thousands of years.
The spectacles formation (and the name is obvious) has a North window and a South.

So Wonderful Jeff,

I lived in both Northern and Southern Utah for several years. All the parks of Southern Utah were my playground. Arches was the farthest from where I lived and as a result, was the least visited. So I always enjoy seeing shots from this park. If I ever get more than a minute I'll fire up the scanner and share a few images from here.
