Many thanks to all the Flickr photographers that constantly inspire me to try various combinations in my quest for new images. After spending days wandering through abstract captures, I grabbed acrylic paints and shiny foil. Watching the liquids flow together gave me an image that reminded me of geographical maps of an alien landscape.
Standing nearly 150' tall, this isolated ridge of yellowish white sandstone is home to a unique double arch. The larger arch is nearly 100' in diameter.
The formation is named for the first full-time editor of National Geographic Magazine and, later, president of the National Geographic Society, Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875-1966).
Just south of Kodachrome Basin State Park, Grosvenor Arch is deservedly one of the most popular features in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
While traveling through southern Utah to visit National Parks, this became of interest to us, because we previously lived near the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Station in Bethesda, Maryland.
