Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah in October 2007.

Before going I had already previsualized the shot of the Delicate arch with the warm light from the sunset hitting the rock. I was so busy taking pictures in another part of the park that I was running out of time.

To get to the Delicate arch on time, I ran the 1.5 miles from the car park. I was too late, and the sun was behind clouds with no sunlight hitting the arch. I was frustrated as this was my final sunset in arches national park. I took a few shots of the sunset - it was okay, but not ideal. I thought I might aswell stay until after sunset to see what happens. As soon as the sun was gone so were all the other tourists and photographers - except me and 2 other photographers from the US.

They had just bought a Brinkmann max million flashlight at walmart to try lightpainting for the first time. I haden't bothered bringing mine as I didn't plan for shooting after the sunset. They asked me if I had light painted before, and I gave them some tips. The guy that wasn't into photography was the "painter" and the two others + myself were taking the pictures while he was painting. I thought the light painted photo was much more exciting and different then anything I had previsualized.

I have seen a lot of beautiful landscapes, but I must say that arches national park is one of the most stunning and interesting places I have photographed.

Happy Flickr Friday :)

Paper thin petals tinged by colour....pretty little things :)

This one had only begun to open when I got it. Now it's fully open and looks so delicate and such a pale Yellow.

The petals are falling now. Like springtime snow:)

Más de 2000 arcos hay documentados en el Parque Nacional de los Arcos, pero todos nos vamos a ver y fotografiar los mismos, por lo que me he tenido que tirar un buen rato clonando gente :)

Delicate Arch at Arches National Park, Utah - Taken in the early morning hours

Arches NP Utah

Delicate Arch is featured on the Utah state licence plates.

I returned home yesterday from my first trip to the USA southwest. I especially enjoyed hiking and sightseeing in Arches National Park in Utah. The most difficult thing about getting this photograph was finding a break in the steady parade of people taking selfies inside the arch, but finally it was clear of people for a few moments!!

Wanted to share another image from the musical instrument macro photography class that I recently attended. It's back to the violin again, which turned out to be my favorite subject of the afternoon.

I've always had an affinity for string instruments, especially after playing the cello for a number of years -- admittedly that was a quite a long time ago. Still have an appreciation for their sounds though, even all these years later.

An adventure up at the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. Hike up to this spot around sunset times and waited there for a good 5-6 hours for the milkyway to show up. And another hour or so before it gets just a little above Delicate Arch. Meet a new friend Sean, who is very knowledgable on astronomy. Had some great time with him that night chatting and learning a lot about the night skies from him.

This was captured by the end of my stay from that night. And was having some trouble hike back to the parking lot in the dark after this.

Delicate Ach, Arches National Park, Utah.

Arches National Park is a U.S. National Park in eastern Utah. It is known for preserving over 2000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations.

The park is located just outside of Moab, Utah, and is 119 square miles (310 km2) in size. Its highest elevation is 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and its lowest elevation is 4,085 feet (1,245 m) at the visitor center. Since 1970, forty-three arches have toppled because of erosion. The park receives 10 inches (250 mm) of rain a year on average.

Administered by the National Park Service, the area was originally designated as a National Monument on April 12, 1929. It was redesignated as a National Park on November 12, 1971.

at a roosting site besides the Kafue River (Kafue National Park, Zambia) a Great Egret is checking if these branches are strong enough to spend the night there.

I couldn't really think of any adjective other than "delicate" to describe this scene. Overgradation and manipulation would have destroyed it so what you see here is more or less straight out of the camera. The only thing I had to correct was a slightly wonky horizon.
