Surprise Arch

Surprise Arch

Uploaded: July 18, 2012 03:31:18

Description

One of the many arches in the Fiery Furnace at Arches NP. Access into the Fiery Furnace for those unfamiliar with the area is not recommended (in fact, strongly discouraged, as the park tries to limit numbers into the area in order to maintain as natural as possible an area that, considering the number of visitors to Arches NP every year, is not an easy task). The park provides guided tours with one of the rangers (for a nominal fee), and it is well worth the journey in. Three shot hh HDR.

Exif: F Number: 8, ISO: 400, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 600D

Proof from my original comment BP & I DONT SEE EYE TO EYE. I like the one showing scale even more than this.

Thanks Jack. I don't think I uploaded the second photo in the BP competition, but included it here in the discussion thread to give a sense of perspective. I guess I should drop the second one in sometime, thanks for the suggestion and kudos. Randy #10294950
