Sunset on Arches National Park. The windows section of the park is a favorite for many to watch the sun go down and bring a beautiful ending to another day
HDR. One of the oldest bits of my hometown - remains of the Greyfriars monastic complex, largely hidden from passersby, and largely unrecognised.
The handrail lost all sense of direction....
Poortmeesters, a housing complex in Delft, with two large (Delft?) blue entrance arches. The ceramic tiles are 3D printed, and designed by Studio RAP.

A Photoshop view of Arches National Park. I just decided to put some of the arches from the park all in one area! As if this area needs help being beautiful.

Waves have eroded this striking sea arch at Ponta Furada, along the rugged southern coast of Faial near the Freguesia (Civil Parish) of Feteira in the Azores. The coastline is primarily composed of basaltic volcanic rock.
Notably, 'Ponta Furada' translates to 'Pierced Point,' a fitting name for this naturally sculpted arch."
The Crawfordsburn Viaduct is a railway viaduct in Crawfordsburn, County Down, Northern Ireland.
The viaduct is built out of Scrabo ( stonedatabase.com/natural-stone/scrabo-sandstone/ ) sandstone, and carries a double-track railway at a width of 10 metres across a distance of 100 metres. It has five arches and cast-iron lattice parapets. It was designed by Charles Lanyon.
The viaduct was constructed by the Belfast, Holywood & Bangor Railway (BHBR), beginning in 1863, with the foundation stone being laid on October 3 of that year, and finishing in 1865, with the first passenger train to cross it being on May 18. The opening of the viaduct was attended by Charles Lanyon, Lord Dufferin, Major Crawford, and BHBR chairman Robert Ward.
It is alleged that some time before BCDR takeover in 1884 that a child fell from the viaduct and was saved only by his clothes catching on a tree.
The viaduct, along with the rest of the Holywood - Bangor line, was upgraded from single to double track between 1897 and 1902, some 13 years after having been taken over by the Belfast and County Down Railway.
The Ulster Transport Authority took over the line in 1948, and with it, the viaduct. It changed hands once again in 1968 becoming the property of Northern Ireland Railways, who removed Lanyon's foundation stone in 1989 on the centenary of his death.
The viaduct remains in use today, carrying the NI Railways Belfast–Bangor line across Crawfordsburn Glen. Off-peak there are two trains per hour in each direction across the viaduct. It can be seen from Crawfordsburn Country Park, the entrance to which is half an hour's walk from the nearest railway station, Helen's Bay. (Crawfordsburn did have its own railway station at one point but it closed in 1997). It became a listed building in 1975.
Pentax K1000 - Ilford XP-2 400 - Red River Gorge, Kentucky - Half Moon Arch is towards the top of a ridge. It's also on an unmarked trail. There is a cliff on both sides of the arch.
About two hours after sunset at Mesa Arch, with just a sliver of a moon providing light down onto the arch.

This massive arch, located at the head of Elephant Canyon in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, is named for the similarity between its large blocks and those of the famous Stonehenge. The height is difficult to appreciate without anything to put it into context - it rises around 500 feet from the canyon below it.

Heart Arch or Window. Once upon a time on a small Mesa far, far away. 😊 I do not know if there is a real name for this small arch (I suspect not), but I’m going to call it Heart Arch. I saw a photo of this small arch on the internet which led me to see out the location, and fortunately I found it on my second day of searching. The Arch is located on the very edge of a cliff with a drop off of an estimated 100-150 feet, 30-50 m. Fortunately it could be lined up with the MW from the safe side of the arch, but unfortunately there was a lot of light pollution in this direction from a city about 100 miles, 160 km away. Still worked out ok though. There is focus stacking with a 9 image stack for the sky and an 9 image stack for the foreground, processed in Starry Landscape Stacker. Low Level Lighting done with a single Goal Zero Micro Lantern.
Thanks for all the kind support over the last year, it is much appreciated! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family!
The Nine Arches Bridge between Demodara and Ella stations in Sri Lanka provides the “cliché shot”
For some inexplicable reason, the viaduct has become a fixture on tourist itineraries. At the end of the bridge there is even a notice displaying the railway time-table, so visits are arranged to coincide with the passage of the trains.
They certainly had an unexpected bonus when our charter train steamed sedately over the bridge.
