Balanced Rock Falls, which has carved its way below a seemingly precariously placed boulder, near the Buffalo National River in northern Arkansas. It looks like if you were to mess with some sort of ancient golden relic, the rock would start rolling towards you...
For Macro Mondays theme "Balance". This is a chunk of broccoli about 1" across, and represents one element of a balanced diet, which must include lots of veggies.
96 minutes at the balanced rock in Arches National Park. A night with no wind and pleasant temperatures. Right after the astronomical twilight I started taking shots for this star trail. The core of the Milky way was still below the horizon so I had to wait until past 2 am to take the picture I uploaded about two weeks ago.
I used an ISO and aperture combination to avoid blowing out the stars and capture some of their colors. The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue-white stars are much hotter than the Sun, whereas red stars are cooler.
I edited the image to enhance the vibrancy and give to the star trails the comet look with tapered ends.

Welcome to to the beach, a haven for dog walkers and coffee drinkers. A special congratulations on picking up your dog mess, only to lob it into the dunes and leave it in a bag for the next hundred years. Shame on you........

There are several named "Balanced Rock" areas in the country, including Garden of the Gods and Arches National Park. This one happens to be in Glen Canyon. The official named Balanced Rock is in the center. I wonder how the ones to the left and right feel about not getting the nod. Apparently, they were so upset that they got stoned.

Of course what new year doesn't start out with the resolution to eat better. I am not going on any trendy eating diets, just balancing everything, moderation in all things.

Located in Arches NP and a very popular location for shooting the Milkyway. On this night the traffic was low. Lighting provided by Mother Nature after the Sun went down in very low light.
Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features in the park, stands a staggering 128 feet (39m) tall. While this formation may appear to be an epic balancing act, it’s actually not balanced at all. The slick rock boulder of Entrada Sandstone sits attached to its eroding pedestal of Dewey Bridge mudstone. The exposure of these two rock strata layers are ideal for the formation of arches and balanced rocks.

This is absolutely true and possibly many will believe it is False and/or fanciful and because I needed it to be true….no matter because I know what I believe….
Many will know that my late husband Brendan was Irish…sadly he died aged 65 in 2012
4 years later I met Jonathan and we became friends and he walked his dog with myself and my dog Beau and Beau’s sibling Phoebe the pet belonged to my niece Mandy and we walked together for a year and a half then became a couple and married in 2017…We went to the Lincoln Christmas Market together in 2018 but I was desperately uncomfortable but I had gone every year with my soulmate husband Brendan. I wandered miserably from stall to stall till we came across a lady selling these peg doll Christmas tree fairy’s and I picked a beautiful one for my sister with blonde hair and a candy cane in her hand. I didn’t intend buying one for myself. However I stayed at the stall and couldn’t make myself leave - eventually telling the stall holder that I was drawn to the green fairy wearing a top hat hanging just above my head. “Oh she replied, that one’s an Irish fairy and if you look she’s holding a bunch of shamrock in her hands “
The feeling the went over and through my body can’t be imagined I’m sure. I just knew it was Brendan’s way of telling me everything was fine and I could go around the Christmas market with his blessing. I was and still am elated. This shot actually a blend of three shots and is of the fairy that still hangs in our bedroom. The the tiny seed head is balanced on a vase and I have a piece of original copper artwork and the orange and turquoise come through off that. How the copper settled so beautifully in the seed head remains a mystery. All shots were taken by my Nikon d850 and the blend and crop plus border done in photoshop…..now a tip for you. I took a shot minus the back border and had a free print photo that actually cost a little more because I had it upgraded to acrylic…they only expect smartphone shots so I took a photo of it and downloaded it as a screenshot and sent it to my mailbox and it was readily accepted and came back looking perfect 12 inch x 12 inch and is above a small oak table in my front room….Jonathan thinks it’s beautiful and I love it and feel comforted by it every day 😊
Btw….I have printed this myself too because a few people I know love it and fyi it print's off with these exact colours…been done over a year and never loses any vibrancy :)
nice to walk on it, we just have to find it
May 7, pitch black night at 4 am with 18.5% waning crescent to show up in about 2.5 hours. No light painting is allowed in Arches National park so I enjoyed the beauty of the Balanced Rock as presented by mother nature against the one and only Way. I was amused to see that the core was starting just above the light supplied by taxpayers in Moab. A few clouds were keeping me company, shooting stars just passing by in a hurry to catch the burn.
Nice and warm, plenty of time for a pano but also for admiring the core of the Milky Way
