Backside-Broken-ArchMASTER

21 degrees with a 25 knot wind felt mighty cold at 400am to this florida photographer. Man the wind -proofing of Gortex never ceases to amaze me. Ok back to the shoot, after following the trail for about a mile or so, i came to the front side of Broken Arch in Arches Nat Park. The only problem was in the winter with a sunrise in the south east.. the front of the arch wasn't going to light-up, at least per the garmin gps.Manwhat was i thinking.. pre intell scouts are worth every penny...of course that's if you have the extra time. So after a climb thru some boulders and lose rock etc, i was able to scramble up and thru the arch. It quickly became apparent that the better angle and shoot would be looking to the southeast and capturing some sunrise color!! The key point here is being flexible and arriving at your shoot early enough to not be rushed!! Another fantastic morning and day in one of America's ionic treasures!!
