arching landscapes

This is Landscape Arch, the longest natural stone arch in the world....290 ft long. The thinnest portion of the arch (seen just above the flare) is only 6 ft thick. There are mixed opinions as to how much longer the arch will last. Several large slabs have fallen away from beneath the arch during the 1990's. However, it is believed these may have actually strengthened the arch by reducing weight.

 

This was another stitched image, involving 3 shots.
