Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah,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). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second longest span in the park.
Bow Tie Arch was a 1.5 mile hike from the Colorado River near Moab, Utah. The runoff pattern in the rock was interesting and a nice break from the red and yellow rock seen everywhere else in the area!

So many challenges to deal each year while trying to get a decent shot of the arch. The tide moving in, the cadre of other photographers jockeying for position and accidentally getting into each other's way, giant strands of seaweed that keep washing up into your shot, etc, etc. I had a great time shooting and struck up a conversation with a couple of guys who grew up not too far away from me. The same type of thing happened last year: Everyone is chatting away amicably until about 1/2 hour before sunset and suddenly all the shutters start going off continuously and suddenly it's every man for himself, lol.
For those of you who might be interested, your opportunity to shoot the arch with the sun pouring through is drawing to a close pretty soon. Each year, the sun moves far enough south, (Late December, Early January) for the suns rays to travel through the archway in the giant pile of rocks on Pfeiffer Beach. The access to the beach is devilishly tricky to find as there are no clear signs at the turn off and the road simply drops off the edge on the Western Side. You also face the challenge of not finding a parking spot when you arrive at the bottom as there are only a handfull of spaces available in two small parking lots. If you cut it too close, you might end up waiting at the guard shack right through the sunset and miss the entire thing. This ALMOST happened to me last year. It's $5 to park, and then a short walk to the beach through the trees.
I've included a shot from last year below.

I'd hoped to get more photos of the Benedetto Camerana designed Olympic or Red Arch whilst in Turin. Unfortunately due to time running out I had to make do with this single, long lens shot during a quick visit to the famous Fiat Lingotto Factory.

From the Archilovers website : "The architectural complex consists of a 400 meter long pedestrian walkway that links the Olympic Village and the Administrative Center of Lingotto, held up by a red arch 69 meters high and 55 long.
The Olympic Arch has a practical function, as it brings together two parts of the city divided by the railway park of the Lingotto, and a symbolic function, as it is an innovative structure, visible from a distance that represents the urban renewal of the city."

Fountain Court arches at Hampton Court palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Greater London. A truly stunning and awe inspiring building.
The Arches National Park, Utah. The sandstone formations have been eroded over millions of years by water, wind and temperature variations.
IN MEMORIAM of my father, Charalampos C. Papachristos ( ✞ 26.6.1985 ):
Photograph of Gkikas’s Mill bridge. The bridge is located near my fatherland, 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 metre (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 mi) 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).
The arch is right on the edge of a 500-foot cliff, part of a 1,200-foot drop into Buck Canyon. Many photographers get a sunrise pic from this vantage point, but I just couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed to get the capture.

Overgrown farmland in a suburb of St. Louis hosts deer, coyotes, foxes, hawks, owls, snakes, turtles and other species which have adapted to urban life. (Which has nothing to do with the title I chose, but I couldn't resist the pun!)
I was using a 300mm telephoto lens for this. A wee sea gull flew into the shot, but it does give a bit of scale to the image. I didn't find a name for this arch, it probably has one, but it's beautiful, so who really cares.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch. The arch spans the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph. (2/22/2019)
the scene was real; the effect is manipulated
To achieve this effect I simply duplicated the layer and added a gaussian blur filter, then used a soft eraser in the center to reveal the lower layer. I also used the burn tool around the edges.

Double Arch at night, Arches National Park, Utah, USA. This is a "panorama" of multiple vertical photos stitched together. These were taken with a 15mm Sigma fisheye lens, so there is some distortion I could not correct for, but the idea was to show both arches of Double Arch, as well as the Milky Way showing through the "roof". The arch is lit with static or constant light. I used 2 Digital LED Video Lights. These are from a company called F&V and it is called the Z96 kit (96 LEDs). They are dimmable, and come with a "Warm" filter and a "Diffusion" filter both of which I used. They are made for video, but work great for this use. This is a good solution if you are alone and is more consistent than light painting. Several nights later I came back and used 4 lights to attempt more uniform lighting, which I will post later.
