I dont know if i will ever get to see a more beautiful balcony, it is part of a newly built Haveli opposite olden goldie Patwon ki haveli in Jaisalmer city. The tradition to create "Delicate Corners" has been continued to this day by the natives of Jaisalmer the past hundreds of years.
Risking to say the obvious, geological processes can create fascinating structures. Waiting for the best light also allowed interesting insights into the psychology of fellow photographers. When other visitors dared to stand within the arch, potentially impacting the planned images, synchronous shouting and swearing rose from the numerous tripods set up opposite the arch.

This was my mother's lovely brooch. The flower head is set on a tiny spring so that it moves as the wearer moves so delicate and intricately designed.
Thanks for your kind comments, have a wonderful day!
You've got to love the classics. There were about 20 other folks snapping shots, waiting for the "magic minute" before the sun set.

A day at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah.
Delicate Arch, featured on the Utah license plate is probably the most popular natural arch in the country. I've seen this arch as the countless subject of innumerable photos, but it's always the arch standing majestically alone and seemingly undisturbed against a dramatic sky or under the milky way. It gives you the impression that few are out enjoying these natural landmarks.
But reality couldn't be further from the truth. This was my first trip to some of the more popular destinations in the midwest. Here in our parks in West Virginia, you may encounter only a dozen or so people even on the most popular trails. It's few enough to briefly take you out of an isolated nature state of mind when you do see people or catch a whiff of perfume out in the woods. However, at Arches, Bryce Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, etc there's always enough people, everywhere that you never feel isolated. With shuttle buses, sometimes requiring hours of waiting, taking people throughout the parks, single file unbroken lines of people on the trails, and literally waiting in line with a number of other photographers to get those iconic lone, majestic landmark shots.
The national parks have become a veritable Disney Land, that was the first thought that came to mind. It was very frustrating to see, at first. However, when you step back to think about it and reflect on the words of John Muir, in some ways, wasn't this the goal with the National Parks? To not only preserve nature but to give everyone an outlet to get out and enjoy these sites? Until Ansel Adams brought his photos taken out west for the world to see, people who had only lived on the East Coast had no idea that places like Yosemite existed and would have given little thought of its preservation.
Today, the world is smaller and everything is more accessible. A journey toward far away lands that once took a month to reach, often times arriving with only a fraction of the party you began with, now can take a day to reach by car or plane. Why look at a photograph when you can go there? How many times have you told someone that the photograph only tells half the story, it was really something you just had to be there to see for yourself to appreciate the impact? If people in Ansel Adams day could be moved by photographs toward the desire to preserve these places, how fervent will that desire be when they actually have the opportunity to SEE them in person?

Sony A1, Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO
Taken at Delicate Arch, Arches National Park outside Moab, Utah
This lens is good, but it does not have the wow factor of the Voigtlander 65mm f/2 APO. It's super sharp across the entire frame at f/2 with some vignetting. It only gets slightly better as you stop down with less vignetting. By f/8 it diffracts. I typically shoot it around f/5.6 to f/7.1. If you want the signature Voigtlander sunstars, you must stop down to f/11, but at the cost of significant diffraction.
As the Royal Pavilion is undergoing restoration work visitors are warned not to get too close to the building. We were told off by the watchful security people manning the CCTVs for sitting on the building's delicate steps - more boorish than moorish

Delicate Arch, the most recognizable symbol in Arches National Park, is, as you can see, a popular attraction. Most images of the arch are void of context. Captured here are the throngs of visitors gathered about the "amphitheater" as if to await the performance of some artist within the arch.
To appreciate Delicate Arch's, you really have to see it in real life. I was surprised that it sat at the top of a hill, and at how beautiful the surroundings were. One of the places one should DEFINITELY visit, despite its popularity in the tourist season.
That delicate forest flower,
With scented breath and look so like a smile,
Seems, as it issues from the shapeless mould,
An emanation of the indwelling Life,
A visible token of the upholding Love,
That are the soul of this great universe
-William Cullen Bryant-
You'll be seeing a lot of the delicate Delicate Arch in the next few days so sit back and prepare to see a few minutes pass here and there... This was just a few minutes after sunrise - for those keeping track.
Delicate Arch at Arches National Park. After a moderately difficult hike up to the arch we gathered with the horde of people for sunset. This was the only time I was able to get a "clean" shot without people. What a spectacular scene for the arch that was supposed to be named Skyline Arch (there was a mixup a long time ago). One of the truly beautiful sunsets you can capture in Arches.
