The Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah is one of my favorite National Parks. This is Skyline Arch, a beautiful arch located near the end of the road deep into the park. I walked off the road a ways to get this photo under it. On the other side of this arch is the campground where I stayed for a few days. Hardy climbers can get up to the arch from the campground side.
I remember this day well…it was one of those days where amazing clouds ruled the landscape. When you have a beautiful day in a beautiful place such as this, one cannot stop shooting. If you have followed this blog for a long time, you have already seen some of the images from this day. This is the first one I have posted in a while.
As Ansel Adams once said about a day like this:
“Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.”
That was this day for me in the Arches. The clouds and the light were beyond belief! I considered myself one of the luckiest men with a camera on the planet that day.
Definitely make The Arches National Park one of your destinations in the future. PS: The Island in the Sky portion of Canyonlands National Park is only a few miles up the road from the Arches. How handy is that?
