It's a 1.5 mile hike to Delicate Arch - I highly recommend it. On this day the sun illuminated the arch for about 3 mins before disappearing. What an awesome experience. 6 vertical shotes with a 50mm Ziess at F8.

(Start this hike early and bring plenty of water. The earlier you start, the better chance of getting a picture without people in it. It'll also be cooler!)
People come from all over the world to visit Arches National Park, and visiting Delicate Arch is on the top of many visitors' to-do lists. In a park with over 2,000 stone arches, this particular free-standing 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. It has had more than a few names in its history, from the colorful ("Cowboy's Chaps", "Old Maid's Bloomers") to the prosaic ("Salt Wash Arch"). The term "Delicate" first appeared in a January 1934 article about the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, which described it as "the most delicately chiseled arch in the entire area."

A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park isn't so delicate. It is over 40 feet (12m) tall. The hike to get to it is over 3 miles (4.8km) over baking slickrock and areas of fine, soft sand (much like walking on a beach).
Despite all the warnings posted on the trail about the need to take lots of water while walking in the desert in late summer heat, many people still did not have a drop of water with them - and several of them needed help or water while on the trail.

I am a surrealist. I need to start working hard on editing and capturing photos that will captivate and show you guys my thoughts.

One of the paths I follow was overgrown with cow parsley - it smelled heavenly in the sunshine and is so delicate compared to hogweed heads. Had a play with the camera and this is one of the results. Please see Summer studies set flic.kr/s/aHsjG1izeg
