Double Arch, in Arches National Park, is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second-longest span in the park. (Source: Wikipedia)
Unlike some other arches in the park, visitors are allowed to hike up to and directly under these arches. People can be seen here beneath the arches.

Double Arch is in the Windows section of Arches National Park. It is 112 feet tall with a 144 feet span. It is a pothole arch, meaning that water erosion from above resulted in its formation.
I had just finished preparing dinner, when I looked through my kitchen window and saw this amazing double rainbow. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy could wait for a few minutes. I grabbed my nearest camera, and with my apron flapping, I darted out into the rain. This was my view once I reached the end of my driveway. It was well worth getting a little soggy to capture it.
Double rainbows are formed when sunlight is reflected twice within a raindrop with the violet light that reaches the observers eye coming from the higher raindrops and the red light from lower raindrops. Quoted from the Met Office website
Double-crested Cormorants migrate in flocks during the day, often in a V-shape, from their breeding grounds to ice-free areas for the winter.
They are just beginning to arrive in our area. This one arrived just a few days ago, on 12/20/2024

This photo isn't altered or color-tweaked in any way, it's just a grayish juvenile bird standing against a gray background. For real, the only color is the eye and beak.

Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it's a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) round trip to the arches.[1] There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches.
The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist.[2]
Double Arch was formed differently from most of the arches in Arches National Park. It is what is known as a pothole arch;[3] it formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m).[3]
A nice pair of original paint GTW Geeps have finished serving a couple of industries in the Little Chute Industrial Park. Here seen crossing Highway OO.
The leaves are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. The plant is not frost-tolerant, nor does it do well in tropical environments since they require a dry resting period between leaf growth and flower spike production.

Photographed last week in the Heathcote National Park, New South Wales, Australia. I think it's at its teneral stage, when it has recently moulted and its exoskeleton is yet to harden and get its final colouration. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
