First visit to Arches, Utah. This location is out of this world!
"Delicate Arch"
Sigma 14-24/2.8 + AR74
PS: Careful hiking there at night. During the few days I was there, a couple died after falling into the bowl area near Delicate Arch. The rangers closed this location for 24 hours. A beautiful location contrasted by such sad story.
Beautiful Fred, very nice detail. How do you like your Sigma lens? Did it score higher than others in your tests?
Beautiful location too, and different ways to get lost in the park area. I had 2 incidents which weren't being lost just not being where I thought I was, but happy ends eventually.
It is beautiful and cold here when it snows... which is not often. When it gets down to -10 degrees and stays that way for a week.
Finally! After much discussion and silence on your part you made it to those places. Now we look forward to some great photos of Canyonlands and other places en route.
BTW, a beautiful photo capture. You also picked a different (and more spectacular angle than the run of the mill photos of this iconic spot)
A special photo of a special place. Sad about the couple, but many people go places with little awareness of the dangers. They see others have done it and assume anyone can. Quite a few die each year at places like Angel's Landing, the Wave, etc.
a great sky and shot from up there....i remember reading about that couple, tragic...when i was out there a guy fell from the other side of the arch and was life flighted out

Nice.
If there was enough scenery to the right, it would make for a cool 16 x 48" print of canvas running horizontal, too. But this size is plenty good.
Small thing, but the presence of the small puddles is a pleasant accent that may not be there other seasons.
