5 hours of sleep later (after my Double Arch shot), I got up at 3am to hike out to Delicate Arch for the rising Milky Way. I got lost twice on the way there in the dark, but it was totally worth it!
Where do you think I should go next for another shot like this? Doesn't have to be a national park!

This was tricky - every time I breathed the little feather fluttered off. I learned to time my breathing!
Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah at Sunset
The sun came out only for 30 seconds.
Delicate Arch is a 52-foot (16 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.
It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch

An epic sunrise : alone at the perfect moment just after the storm. The rain, the skies cleared up and the sun showed up with some crazy saturated colors (no saturation added in PS ! can you believe this? :) ) It's still raining in between the "cowboy boots" ;)
I couldn't go to Arches without taking the hike to the most famous arch of them all. I did a sunset shoot of Delicate Arch. Most of the arches in the park are kind of a hole in a wall of rock. This one is totally unique, the way it just sits there all by itself. Having the full moon rising in the background was a really nice extra bonus. I was hoping to time it right for that, but wasn't expecting it to be in such a perfect spot. It's a bit of a hike to get to. Not super long, but a mile and a half feels pretty long when it's 98º. But, what was really fun was the hike back in the dark. I stayed till dusk, and hiked back by flashlight. It's not like walking through the woods, where you are following a very obvious, well worn trail. There are no footprints when you are walking on a solid wall of rock. There are no trees. There are no landmarks. Everything looks the same. All you have to go by, is is a little pile of rock cairns every hundred feet or so, which is a problem when you can only see about 20-30 feet ahead with the flashlight. I can't count how many times I wandered off in the wrong direction in search of a little pile of rocks, telling me 'this is the trail'.

Notes: Lens is a Peleng 8mm Canon mount (manual focus and aperture); The camera was set up on a small box inside the clothes washer (front-loader) with two LED compact camping lanterns tilted against each side of the box illuminating the interior and providing fill light; The key light is a recessed halogen directly above; Back light is from the window on the door behind my head which is partially flagged with a piece of black foam core (Label still intact); The camera was triggered with a wireless remote; The "Delicate" in my hand is a headband.
When you see how fragile and delicate life can be, all else fades into the background.

A delicate carnation in soft ivory and blush pink stands in the spotlight, its ruffled petals kissed with magenta edges.
I have a perennial garden that is full of raucous native flowers like echinacea and rudbeckia. But in the spring I love the exact opposite - the tiny, delicate feasts for the eye that Mother Nature provides.

I wasn't sure what to do for this challenge, but remembered seeing this previously and thought I'd give it a try.

This little bone china cream jug was my mother's and it sat on a small display ledge the whole time she had it. It is now mine and I decided, rather than just look at it, I'd use it every day for the milk I take in my morning coffee. It's a small but gentle reminder of my mum each day.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

Here is a shot I took of Delicate Arch near sunset during my trip to Utah in 2016. In the very few minutes before the setting sun was obscured by clouds, a faint, orange glow fell upon the arch and the surrounding landscape, making for a breathtaking image. I certainly cannot wait to return to this awe-inspiring place.
I uploaded a similar picture a while back, but decided I would re-edit a similar shot (later in the day) to try to emphasize the arch more.
The Milky Way Rises behind Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah, United States. Delicate Arch has become a widely recognized symbol of the state of Utah and one of the most famous geologic features in the world. The light opening beneath the arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, making it the largest free-standing arch in the park. Arches National Park is a national park of the United States in eastern Utah. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 mi north of Moab, Utah. The park contains more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the well-known Delicate Arch, which constitute the highest density of natural arches in the world. It also contains a variety of other unique geological resources and formations. The national park lies above an underground evaporite layer or salt bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in the area.
This photo was shot in the Death Valley National Park during a trip to the USA in March 2014.. See photo workshops here www.hanskrusephotography.com/Hans-Kruse-Photo-Workshops/W...
Appreciate life, it's fragile. Its delicate. Know that this in this world you are not bestowed everything which you ever dream of. For some, their dreams are close, yet unreachable. No matter what happens, one thing remains, if ye want it. Togetherness. Hold on to it. Let no storm weaken you.
