Landscape Arch

My Photos of Landscape Arch - February 2009
Over time, I plan to pack this page with as many more images of Landscape Arch.
But for now, here are my three best photos of this remarkable site. Landscape Arch looks so
delicate, doesn't it? Perhaps it should be called Delicate Arch... but that name is already taken.
In fact, quite a few Arches National Park enthusiasts have suggested Landscape Arch and
Delicate Arch should switch their names! |
My visit to this arch was during the afternoon, when the sun was practically directly behind the arch. (I am not happy with the two photos above.)
Although I have never done it,
from a photography standpoint, I recommend visiting Landscape Arch first thing in the
morning! You will be tempted to stop at
Balanced Rock and the many other sites
along the way, but don't... avid photographers visit this first! On my next visit, I surely will. :) |
The view of Landscape Arch as I approached it from the trail. |
Information about when a significant chunk of rock broke off the arch in 1991. |
Sadly, the trail that goes underneath is closed, but it is probably for the best.
I become really nervous standing under any of these arches! |
