Delicate Arch Area

[singlepic id=1836 w=480 float=left] This picture isn’t really of anything specific, the clouds and rain just made for some very nice colors and contrast looking out over the park along the hike up to Delicate Arch.  I’m not 100% sure that I haven’t posted this one somewhere before, but I… Continue reading

Balanced Rock

[singlepic id=1834 w=480 float=left] Sunset picture of a different type – with the sun casting the pink shade on the mountains.  I’m sure that having balanced rock off to the right violates some rule of photographic composition. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 56mm, 1/25 sec shutter,… Continue reading

Landscape Arch

[singlepic id=1833 w=480 float=left] I’m sure I have posted some pictures of this before, and I’m sure the internet abounds with other pictures of Landscape Arch since it’s one of the more iconic arches in the park, but here’s another just in case the first 500,000 weren’t sufficient. Picture taken… Continue reading

Navajo Arch

Arches Primitive Trail 2

[singlepic id=1231 w=480 float=left] Like the picture from Wednesday, there’s nothing specifically important about this picture, it’s the 180 view from the location of the picture from Wednesday. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 24mm, f/8.0, various shutter, ISO 100.

Future Arches

[singlepic id=1230 w=480 float=left] A shot out past the horn on one of the fins with some people on top for scale.  I don’t remember the geological details, but these fins come into existence when the softer rock erodes from between them and then arches come into existence when there… Continue reading

Balanced Rock

[singlepic id=1228 w=480 float=left] Happy St. Patrick’s day… here’s a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with that. I posted a very similar picture previously, but this truly is a different shot.  Taken at the very tail end of sunset when only the distant mountains were catching the pink… Continue reading
