Double Arch, in Arches National Park, is what is known as a pothole arch, 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. (Source: Wikipedia)
Unlike some other arches in the park, visitors are allowed to hike up to and directly under these arches. People can be seen here beneath the arches.

Double Arch is in the Windows section of Arches National Park. It is 112 feet tall with a 144 feet span. It is a pothole arch, meaning that water erosion from above resulted in its formation.
I had just finished preparing dinner, when I looked through my kitchen window and saw this amazing double rainbow. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy could wait for a few minutes. I grabbed my nearest camera, and with my apron flapping, I darted out into the rain. This was my view once I reached the end of my driveway. It was well worth getting a little soggy to capture it.
Double rainbows are formed when sunlight is reflected twice within a raindrop with the violet light that reaches the observers eye coming from the higher raindrops and the red light from lower raindrops. Quoted from the Met Office website

I was fighting a loosing battle to keep the rain off the lens and the wind was whipping up also, therefore this pano is made up of six quickly taken handheld images.
The leaves are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. The plant is not frost-tolerant, nor does it do well in tropical environments since they require a dry resting period between leaf growth and flower spike production.

Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it's a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) round trip to the arches.[1] There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches.
The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist.[2]
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).[3]
This balancing act is the prelude to eventual copulation... Often the less experienced terns need to practice a bit before things fall into place. Sometimes this balancing act can last for a few minutes when finally the female "buckles" and the male hops off.

Photographed last week in the Heathcote National Park, New South Wales, Australia. I think it's at its teneral stage, when it has recently moulted and its exoskeleton is yet to harden and get its final colouration. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A marker cairn near the foot of the final rise to the summit of Cairn Gorm sits by the side of the path we're following through the rocks and boulder fields as very little can grow and survive at this altitude.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
