Our next stop in Arches National Park was the hike to Delicate Arch. It was still quite early but starting to get hot - glad we didn't leave it any later.
Arches National Park is a US National Park in eastern Utah. The park is located on the Colorado River 4 miles (6 km) north of Moab, Utah. It is known for containing over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations.
The park is located just outside Moab, Utah.

This photograph was one of those that come when you remember to turn around and look the other way.
These formations may have been arches that have collapsed due to sculpting by wind and water for centuries. These are in the Windows Section of Arches National Park. It is in the Windows Section of Arches National Park.The LaSal Mountains are visible in the distance between the formations.
Arches National park lies above an underground salt bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in the area. This salt bed is thousands of feet thick in places, and was deposited in the Paradox Basin of the Colorado Plateau some 300 million years ago when a sea flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. Over millions of years, the salt bed was covered with debris eroded from the Uncompahgre Uplift to the northeast. During the Early Jurassic (about 210 Ma) desert conditions prevailed in the region and the vast Navajo Sandstone was deposited. An additional sequence of stream laid and windblown sediments, the Entrada Sandstone (about 140 Ma), was deposited on top of the Navajo. Over 5000 feet (1500 m) of younger sediments were deposited and have been mostly eroded away. Remnants of the cover exist in the area including exposures of the Cretaceous Mancos Shale.
the major formations visible in the park today are the salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone, in which most of the arches form, and the buff-colored Navajo Sandstone. These are visible in layer cake fashion throughout most of the park. Over time water seeped into the superficial cracks, joints and folds of these layers. Ice formed in the fissures, expanding and putting pressure on surrounding rock, breaking off bits and pieces.
My friend Rick Louie and I went down to the desert southwest to get one last photo trip in before the end of the year and since I had never been to either Arches or Canyonlands National Parks, it made since to visit Moab.
79 stacked exposures of Double Arch on a cold December night, this night was a lot of fun. I was absolutely loving the abstract feel to Double Arch when looking up from underneath!

The New River Gorge Bridge is a steel arch bridge over the New River Gorge near Fayetteville, West Virginia.
Press L to see it large on black.
Gkikas's Mill bridge backlit in June.
The bridge is located near Kraniá (aka Kranéa or La Kornu), a village in 1,179.7 m (3,870.4 ft) altitude near Trikala, Greece. The arched bridge is made of stones, 20 metres (66 ft) long and 2.7 m (9 ft) wide. It was constructed in 1887 and spans the Kraniótikos river or stream that is a tributary of Aspropótamos.
Aspropótamos (Greek for “White River”) is a toponym for the 2nd largest Greek river, aka “Achelōos.” Achelōos runs for 220 km (137 miles) prior to disgorging its waters into the Ionian Sea. The precipitous flow of the river causes its crystal-clear waters to splash and foam over the many stones scattered throughout the river bed; the White River toponym emanates from the white foam occurring all along the river.
Achelōos was worshipped as a god in ancient Greece (son of Ocean and Tēthys or Ocean and Naïás according to myths and legends).

Walking out to Delicate Arch, I spotted a small arch not too far above me along the trail. I climbed up to it and found it framed the famous arch perfectly. Was a bit of a struggle to set up the tripod in this spot, though... With a photo spot as famous as this, it's always a challenge to find a little different take on it. Arches National Park.

The main entrance to the Exhibition of achievements of the national economy, located on the side of Prospekt Mira and metro station "VDNH". The arch was built in 1951-1954. Reconstruction completed in July 2018.
Often regarded as the most beautiful arch in the world, Delicate Arch stands 65 feet (20m) above the steep sandstone formations below. Delicate Arch is the most recognizable feature of Arches National Park and is an icon of the state of Utah. The Delicate Arch was formed from Entrada Sandstone which was gradually worn away by weathering and wind erosion over millions of years. Delicate Arch is accessible through a moderate 1.5 mile (2.4km) hike up steep slickrock and around narrow rock ledges. On the horizon lies the snow-capped La Sal Mountains which contrasts the deep colors of the surrounding Entrada Sandstone.
“A weird lovely fantastic object out of nature, like Delicate Arch, has the curious ability to remind us — like rock and sunlight and wind and wilderness — that out there is a different world, older and greater and deeper by far than ours” – Edward Abbey
Hurrying Out of the Park..thought I had missed opportunity for this shot, but tried long exposure and it worked.
mrsierra...wonderful stream you have...I encourage everyone here to take a look at some wonderful landscapes..especially of the Western US!! I find myself saving all to favorites.

Another Raw Rescue..This is another picture that I was able to pull out of the dark because it was shot in raw. Some are even coming out better because they are more saturated and they are evening shots anyway..so you need some shadows/dark. Again, I am amazed at how much information Raw keeps if you dig down and get it. This foreground was very, very dark..but retained detail and colors.
Mountains (James Watkins)
mountains grand and gazing-
pillars standing tall-
piercing passioned histories-
hidden in their walls.
delving downward distances-
caverns large and small-
mutant molten metal steams-
fused before the fall.
decant demon-ed destinies-
cooling chasmed halls-
dinosaurs and diamond doors
in massive mirrored malls.
heavy, heaving voices
in paradisian sprawl-
fiery fumes of purity-
creation’s curtain call.
subatomic saturation,
soiled, synthetic signs.
righteous restoration
of prehistoric crimes.
tumultuous-
tempestuous-
waning, wasted pearl-
forethought, full and fragile-
foundation of the world.
hidden in the language
of nature’s cresting yore-
cracked beneath
the stress and strain-
crumbling at the core.
tiny tidbits torn and tumbling-
wiggling in the storm-
recipes and remedies-
chemically reborn.
thickened soups and swirling haze-
brooding-steaming-scorn-
clashing reams of violent schemes-
valleys ripped and torn.
balance within balances,
scrambled eggs at last-
gushing geysered marbled mud
borne before the blast.
consciences of scientists,
syncopated scuds-
bothered by the missing mass-
baffled by the blood.
leaping lemon lizards-
the barn is nearly full-
the hay is neatly in a stack-
this baby’s come full term!
common commonalities,
full circle’s come at last.
see the story in the hills-
yield before your past.
something’s broken,
something’s missing,
something’s come and gone-
something’s at the doorway-
someone’s on the phone.
someone’s at the table-
someone’s on the floor-
someone’s grass
is full of gas-
classical-and more!
rhyming with the timing,
balancing the board-
signals of a sequenced strike,
calm before the storm.
mysteries are meaningful,
when looking at the past.
the scene is somewhat circular,
when stage is come to last.
weakened, muzzled monkeys,
dance before your lord.
the gift of grace is growing cold
squirming on sword.
commentaried cavemen,
come into the fold.
your ears can hear-
your eyes can see-
so come in from the cold.
and listen with some latitude-
to knowledge held in store.
fashioned in the faceless stone
of ancient ocean floor.
squeezed in myriad molecule,
the battle rages on-
raving reverence in reverse
its relevance reformed.
and bow before the evidence-
the courtroom is restored,
through judgment passed,
the script is cast,
in elementary score.
rain fire, you veined volcanoes-
your statement’s on the floor-
and advertise what you surmise-
from secret silent store.
you’ve waltzed in dazzled wonderment-
and touched your maker’s hand,
in timeless thought-
before the fault-
and listened to the plan.
to bring all things to unity-
from eons vile and vast-
to bless-ed end
the future bends,
with glory
unsurpassed.
James Watkins May 2005
After shooting Milky Way at Delicate Arch, we made our way to Mesa Arch...wanting to get good spots we got there around 3 am, that 3 hours before sunset. There was one car there already but we saw someone was sleeping it it so we were not worry about having people at the Arch...however, about an hour later more cars started to arrive so we started hiking out to the arch. We got there and we were the first one and picked the spot we wanted :D
The classic view of Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park. It required patience, a line of photographers waiting for people to stop walking on the arch. I chose a tighter composition, focusing on the arch and the distant landscape.
Arches National Park, Utah.
This is one of Arches' "can't miss" landmarks, because you drive right by it on the way to the Landscape Arch hike and would have to have your eyes closed to not see it. While you can get a good look from the parking lot, I walked toward it for 2-3 minutes for this view.
Boston Harbor... I forget the name of this hotel... but it is a big arch and this is the view across the street from the park!
The left spandrel at the Arch of Arch of Septimius Severus. The figure is a 'winged victory' carrying a trophy.
The central keystone of the arch (on the right here) is Mars, the Roman god of war.

Took a quick trip to the Oregon coast over the weekend. We stayed in Arch Cape but also traveled up north to Cannon Beach.
