These are more interesting than reshooting the same Mesa Arch scene for the billionth time. We already know exactly what those shots look like
I think that's the message for anyone intimidated by some poor overshot locale, be it NYC, Moab or Iceland: shoot your trip, follow your eye and don't worry about the icons
Wonderful shots your are making in those small canyons

Finally got around to trying the SR app. Not the best sky for it tonight (not enough clouds). Absolutely amazed at the DR with the camera.

Landscape Arch not for long in this world. But who knows in geological time? Could still take thousands of years for it to collapse. Unless of the unlikelihood of an earthquake.
The last pic looks like those are the La Sal mountains. OK, I should have been more attentive to your http: description.

Helena, what lens is that? I mean the CV 50/f1.5? Also how do you like your Commlite adapter?
CV stands for Cosina Voigtlander. It's the Nokton 50/1.5 in M mount. Not sure what Commlite means, but I have the Voigtlander VM-E close-focus adapter (got it for a reasonable price together with the lens) and love it.
On Sunday my partner and I went on a day trip to the Trollheimen ("Home of the Trolls" ) area, south-east of Trondheim.
Sadly, when I took the third shot I missed a great one. Behind me was the road disappearing down among the mountains. Almost worth a photo in itself, but not quite so I concentrated on catching the light on the spring trees instead and didn't first notice the strange motor sound. When I finally turned around to look I discovered that it was an old T-Ford but it was too late - it had already passed me. If only I had turned a few seconds earlier. What a shot it could have been with it coming up that beautiful road.
Photo taken the evening of April 16, 2016 at about 45 minutes before sunset looking at blooms of a Cherry Tree and remnants of the Carpentry Shop at Lock Ridge Park (the site of an old Iron Furnace works), Alburtis, PA. Image taken with my tripod mounted Sony A7rM V3 and my Zeiss 35mm f1.4 Distagon ZM lens. ISO 100, lens set to f11 for 1/50 second. Processed with CornerFix and LR6.

The park is worried enough about stability to post especially draconian warnings about walking across it, and not to protect them (Death in the Canyonlands seems not unusual from a variety of causes)
Well, you probably know there was already a big rockfall from the arch in the 90s. It doesn't take a earthquake. It's just freezing and thawing water + gravity. In geo time it's certainly not going to be long..but in human years? Could take a lifetime or two, but by most counts it's right on the verge of coming down. The park is littered with fallen arches, so it won't be a "new thing"
