Mesa Arch Sunrise
A 4.00 am start and a walk in the dark to this spot, which was tricky, as we couldn't really work out the position of the sunrise and how the foreground would work out.
We had done a recce on the previous day so we settled on this spot close to the arch, knowing that other togs would appear out of the gloom and stand in the way!
The sun rose to the right of the La Sal mountains, with the rock formation of "The Washerwoman" just in front. This spot needs the sun to light up the arch above the gap, adding the warm glow to the moment.
I hope we did a tricky shot justice. Some tricky processing too. Not convinced I got the sun-star right, but may re-do it when I have the patience!...I'm looking forward to Brad's interpretation...but then he's on holiday again so it may be some time in the gestation.
