A very strenuous hike of about 75 minutes (close to 4 miles round trip) along the mountains of Arches National Park in Utah leads you to this location... Your legs get sore by the time you reach here but its all worth for the view you get to see !! The red rock glows perfectly in the setting sun...!!

Delicate Arch is a 52 ft (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 both Utah license plates and 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.
Dew drops on grasses in thick morning fog near the River Wey, Guildford UK. Bizarrely I got rather trapped in this very waterlogged area and couldn't find my way out without getting soaked feet. This with the Sony A7R and Leica Summarit 50mm f/2.5 at f/2.5m (beautiful little lens).

I love my tattoo so much. As some of you may know my bird contracted a parasite recently and passed away in my hands. The entire experience of being so close to such a tiny life form who was enduring so much suffering really left an impression on me and to see his life leave him is something I will never forget. I decided to get this tattoo as a reminder to me of how fragile our lives are, essentially just as delicate as a feather.
This image was taken in an attempt to duplicate an old post (in the comment)... Well, it didn't quite measure up! :)
Have a peaceful weekend, everyone! :)
The most celebrated arch in the entire park is the Delicate Arch. It can be reached after an arduous incline of approx. 2 miles by foot from the base camp parking area. Take into consideration the dry and hot desert environ to reach the arch as you climb. Upon reaching it, you will be rewarded by a most magnificent sight. Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA

This brochure would be ideal for a neighborhood bookstore to showcase their collection, upcoming events, and store qualities. The stacked books along with the refined type treatment work together to covey an image of a local, cozy bookshop.
Oh! Delicate Arch. We Proved to be more delicate than you. We finished our morning hike at Arches on the Devil’s Garden Trail – about 7 miles if you include our detour. Our plan was to do one more hike to the must-see Delicate Arch and then leave to head towards Bryce Canyon. We had already taken down camp so we assembly lined some PBJs on the dashboard, wolfed them down, and took off towards the Delicate Arch Trail Head. When we got there we saw it was Just three miles round. We decided rather than to wait out the HEAT and fully recover from the morning we would just do it and get it done.
Never in my life have I bitched and moaned so much. People seemed to be lapping us on this “moderate” trail as we stopped to rest every seven feet. The SUN was pounding down on us and it was a three miles climbing the entire time. After pushing ourselves and pushing each other we finally made it. Delicate Arch. As soon as we got there a seven year old girl proceeded to tell us about how much fun she had getting up there and how great the hike was. That was only the first of our 3 mile hike fails.

Garajonay National Park (Spanish: Parque nacional de Garajonay) is located in the center and north of the island of La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands (Spain). It was declared a national park in 1981 and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. It occupies 40 km2 (15 sq mi) and it extends into each of the municipalities on the island.
The park is named after the rock formation of Garajonay, the highest point on the island at 1,484 m (4,869 feet). It also includes a small plateau whose altitude is 790-1,400 m above sea level.
The park provides the best example of laurisilva, a humid subtropical forest that in the Tertiary covered almost all of Europe. It is also found on the Azores and the Madeira Islands. Laurus azorica, known as Azores Laurel, or by the Portuguese names Louro, Loureiro, Louro-da-terra, and Louro-de-cheiro, can be found in the park, as well as Laurus canariensis, known as Canary Laurel. Although named as a single type of forest, the National Park englobes several varieties of forests. Most humid and protected valleys oriented to the North have the richest and complex forests. It is called valley laurisilva, a true subtropical rainforest where the largest laurel trees can be found. As we reach higher mounts, with less protection from wind and sun, the forest loses some of its more delicate species. It is called the slope laurisilva (laurisilva de ladera). At the south the forest is mainly a mix of beech and heather, species adapted to the less humid atmosphere.
Other attractive of the National Park is the massive rocks that are found along the island. These are former volcanos whose shape has been sharpened by erosion. Some, like the "Fortaleza" (fortress in spanish) were considered sacred by the aborigins, as well as ideal refugees when attached. The park is crossed with a large network of footpaths, being trekking one of the main touristic activities in the island.
Many of the species are endemic to the islands, and harbor a rich biota of understory plants, invertebrates, and birds and bats, including a number of endemic species.
Two species of reptile, Gallotia gomerana (Gomeran lizard) and Chalcides viridanus (Gomeran skink), can be found. Amphibians include the stripeless tree frog, Hyla meridionalis.
The park is renowned as one of the best places to observe the two Canarian endemic pigeons, Laurel Pigeon (Columba junoniae) and Bolle's Pigeon (Columba bollii).

Along the Hudson in Upper Manhattan, NYC
by navema
These driftwood sculptures along the Hudson River in Manhattan, started appearing around the spring of 2005 by Tom Loback. Other sculptors followed suit and started putting up their own works. Some of the other artists are: Alpi, Candida, Mike (aka Zodiac), Dave (the New Guy), Doodad, Beaver, el Ropo and the Kid.

Loback had been gathering branches worn smooth and silvery by the river, and assembling them into abstract designs. Some incorporate delicately balanced stones; some are tied with found rope. Some are small, others 6 to 8 feet tall. Mr. Loback’s work along the river gives new meaning to the notion of found art: he uses materials he scavenges from the riverbank. He anchors some of his pieces in the boulders that line the river from West 115th Street north almost to the Fairway supermarket beneath the West Side Highway at West 132nd Street.
In July 2005, parks department cleanup crews removed the sculptures as if they were trash. Mr. Loback, 57, simply made more.
“People all say the same thing: ‘You’re the guy,’ ” Mr. Loback, said after a photographer noticed him propping up logs to form an installation he later named “Metamorphosis.”
“But, he added, “if you don’t happen to bump into me when I’m working, I’m just another guy walking on the riverbank.”
Mr. Loback said he does not have his open-air gallery to himself, noting that there are other artists who make something out of logs and tree branches gathered along the riverbank. He calls them El Ropo and Doodad because one’s signature element is rope binding the wood together, and the other’s distinctive touch is some little plastic object atop the sculpture. Mr. Loback said he does not know who El Ropo and Doodad are, though he suspects he has met them along the riverbank.
Mr. Loback, who attended Hunter College and did graduate work at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, spent the 1970s and ’80s specializing in fantasy figures that were sold in kit form. In the 1990s, he shaped toy soldiers that were mass-produced in metal. “I did regimental flag bearers from the Civil War,” he said. “I did a lot of research on the flags they actually carried.”
Then he started taking long walks from his studio in Chelsea. “I needed some open air,” Mr. Loback said. “I was going up the river. That wasn’t working because I’d take the subway back. A friend of mine said, ‘Go up on the subway and walk back.’ I did that, and I started to relax and enjoy the river. But as a sculptor I couldn’t help noticing all this great wood that was washing up on the banks.”
Eventually, he started gathering it up and turning it into pieces with names like “Dragon’s Teeth” and “Floating Stone.”
“For the first six months, I was thinking, ‘Look at that, that piece of wood is exceptional; why is it just lying there?’ ” he recalled. “One day, I said, ‘Instead of bringing the stuff back to my studio, why don’t I just work on it there?’ I hopped down the rocks and did a piece, and then I did another piece.”
Before long, he was creating three, four, even five sculptures a week. “I work pretty quick,” he said. “I’m not saying I’m making great art here,” he added, “but it’s absolutely accessible sculpture. Anyone who doesn’t like it can climb down and change it, and it happens frequently.”

On our hike to the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah there were plenty of amazing views to take in. All it took was a creative and delicate perspective to capture breathtaking images.
This is a pano of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park Utah using Autostitch. An awesome place to visit and hike/photograph in. I highly recommend this place.

Rundale palace.
Rundale Palace is an imposing well-restored palace of 138 rooms, approached through a grand drive flanked by twin semi-circular stables. At the height of its construction between 1736 and 1768 it employed 1500 labourers and artisans. Work on the building and grounds, which still have to be restore, was interrupted first in 1738, after Biron has achieved his ambition to become Duke of Courland and diverted Rastrelli into turning Jelgava Castle into Rastrelli Palace. The second interruption was more serious when, after becoming regent of Russia for a year following the empress's death, Biron was banished to Siberia for 23 years.
In the 19th century it was used by the tsarist governors, and the new government took it over in 1920, restoring its war damage. Rundale has been under reconstruction since 1972. Its stairways, galleries, landings, rooms and halls are gracious and well decorated. The wall paintings are by the Italians Francesco Martini and Carlo Zucchi and the exquisite decorative moulding is by Michae Graff from Berlin. His oval Porcelain Study is particularly striking. On the ground floors there is a collection of period furniture and ornaments. The finest rooms are upstairs, where some interesting Dutch, Flemish and Spanish paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries are hung. The dukes' throne stood in the Gold Hall, witch is matched in magnificence by the White Hall or ballroom where the intricate stucco work includes a delicate heron's nest on the ceiling.
Rundale has the apogee of the fusion of German and Russian society which came together and flourished in the region in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The formation of Delicate Arch began millions of years ago, during the Jurassic period, when the area that is now Arches National Park was covered by oceans. Over time, layers of sedimentary rock were deposited, and the pressure and weight of the overlying layers caused the underlying rock to buckle and rise. Local cowboys and ranchers called the arch "Cowboy's Chaps" and "Schoolman's Bloomers" in the late 1800s.
It was also called "Salt Wash Arch," "Bloomers Arch," "Mary's Bloomers," "Old Maid's Bloomers," and "Pants Crotch".
