Description
Natural sandstone arch south of Moab, Utah.
A fascinating product of long-term erosion caused by rain, freezing, thawing and wind.
Discovered this right along the side of the highway on our return from Texas to Washington last spring.

Excellent image Bill. We saw lots of these in the Arches NP when we visited in May 2011. A true wonder of nature.

Oh, this is just off the scale, Bill! What a great photo - so colorful! If I'd seen this on the roadside, you just know I'd have something flying up to that arch....

yes, it's a gorgeous piece of nature. But man, your capture is Bill through and through. It's got all that grace, beautiful light and dark contrast, texture and areas without texture. You have both liberal amounts of grasses/shrubs/bushes, but also lots of space around them. Wonderful rich red-desert hues against deep greens and the luminous shadows under the arch (right under the arch, it looks like the arch is an ember still burning). And a total "flat" blue sky, that makes the landscape pop out beautifully. It's a big geological sandwich, with a real flow from left to right. And it has that "presence" that you get all the time: yhat perfected presence that is 'you' somehow embracing the whole as you give it to us. Technically, very fine and balanced, but filled with inner heart. Beautiful, Bill. I didn't even make a bad joke. Another beautiful upload from you, since your absence. You really now how to make magical pictures.

I remember walking Mandy and talking to those young women in high heels who had hiked up to the arch. :P Glad you got a picture, 'cause I think I was too busy! LOL! This is terrific, hon. :*

Beautifully composed desert landscape. I thought I recognized it as one of the arches I visited in Arches NP, but I guess I was wrong...

Nature creates some beautiful, amazing sights that's for sure.. And man then trashes them far quicker than it made them.. (notice the path being worn up there..) Stunning all the same... Well shot and great light! Rob
