Friday's Focus - 2020/09/25 - Arches

Kyle Jones · Sep 25, 2020

Our focus this week is "the arch". I'm not necessarily looking for images from the park (although those work), but am instead looking for images of arches themselves. Here are a few from my collection:

1) Stornetta Arch (from the spot where you can see through two arches in a line)

2) Eye of Alabama Arch

3) And of course Mesa Arch

I have a lot of arches, but all the same place, different times.

I really like your snowy version of Mesa Arch Kyle. Were you the only one there, or was everyone just being careful with their foot steps?

Mine are all of Utah's most iconic arch.

Arch through an arch.

Grosvenor's Arch, Utah:

Technically this is a bridge instead of an arch - Kachina Bridge:

Arches National Park:

As a ringer I decided to toss in arches along the trail at Shepperds Dell:

Thanks Jim - I think it was a combination of things. There were people, but probably not as many as usual due to the weather (it was still snowing and the road wasn't in great shape). I was also (along with one other person) the first one there so we could set the line. One person stuck a mini tripod closer to the arch, but the hole from that was easy to clone out. For the most part people were good about not messing things up on a pretty special morning.

I don't have a lot of arches, but here's Mesa..

Jim Dockery · Sep 26, 2020

I forgot about this shot of my wife doing yoga on Casidy Arch, Capital Reef. A week later I did the canyoneering route down from there, which was a lot of fun.

MonikaC · Sep 26, 2020

Late to the party (closing on a house will do that).
Fridgehenge in Santa Fe some years back.

And Druid Arch (with horrible halo-ing from the P&S-- sorry about that) from way way back.
