The DELICATE ARCH at Arches National Monument, Utah. The arch stands on the lip of a giant bowl of sandstone. It's a wonderful magical place !
This is one of my older photographs from a trip to the United States of America.

Stellar sunrise from a morning last week. One of my favorite times of the year here when the sun is positioned direct with the east/west streets making for some very cool light shows!

The photo is a close-up of a plant with delicate, elongated leaves. The leaves are a pale, almost white color, creating a stark contrast against the dark background. The image has a soft, dreamlike quality, with the leaves appearing to float in space. The focus is on the intricate details of the plant, highlighting its fragility and beauty.
When I first 'rounded the corner' and this came into view, I was blown away by how large it is - 52 feet high!

"and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive."
-Litany for Survival by Audre Lorde
Taken from the balloon on the overlook from the south side of Delicate Arch.
The balloon was only about 70' (20M) out, but enough to give a different perspective from here.
This is about 14 images stitched together in Autopano Pro, and then some touch up in Photoshop.
I was joined by Mark and his Nikon and Britnee. Only Mark didn't have his Nikon. He had some ancient analog medium format Mamiya. (Way cool.) You can see all three of us here. And the balloon made it in twice.
American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana) are my favorite bird. Their dainty legs and delicate bills captivated me the first time I ever saw a photo of one. With the breeding season fast approaching, avocets transition from their drab winter plumage to their stunning breeding colors-- complete with russet heads and sky-blue legs. The breeding season also means that the majority of these birds leave their wintering grounds on the coast and head northwest. I was dreaming of capturing some of these gorgeous birds with my camera, so I made the long drive down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to a spot that I have had luck at before, hoping to find some stragglers in breeding plumage before they left on their migration. Sometimes, dreams do come true...

"creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud. any of us put out more and better ideas if our efforts are truly appreciated."

I always find it amazing in nature how small delicate things like this survive and grow on rocky, windy shorelines.....Forillon National Park, Gaspe
An evening at the Delicate Arch with the beautiful ice-capped La Sal Mountains in the back.
Me being fluffy had a serious butt kicking while 'climbing' the hike for this natural marvel. It was well above my health grade but nonetheless I climbed it just to take a picture. Love of photography does a lot of crazy but wonderful things to your lifestyle. I can say I would have never even thought of going for this if not for capturing this monument in my camera. My wonderful wife was next to me and looked unbothered with all the elevation, hardly giving out a drop of sweat. It sucked!
But once I was on the top I loved every moment ogling at this wonderful Arch and all the Delicateness associated. It was majestic and appears to be built by aliens!
I took a spot after walking carefully on the slanting edges and waited out for the sunset. Eventually, I had almost a dozen photographs next to me (I choose a good spot!). As the sun went down I clicked almost 500 shots and still had to browse through them. I loved the two cotton candy flakes of clouds emanating from the horizon giving a third dimension to the majesty of the Arch.
In retrospect I think photography is the best thing that has happened to me, won't regret any moment spent behind the camera!
