Spires in Arches National Park – Utah USA tour 2008

Please view large

This area preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone arches as well as many other unusual rock formations. In some areas, the forces of nature have exposed millions of years of geologic history. The extraordinary features of the park create a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms and textures that is unlike any other in the world.
I took this shot after a fall down a hill, my wide angle lens took the brunt but survived thankfully although the polarizer was a little worse for wear. Limping, bleeding and rather scarred I throughly enjoyed my hike around this area.

Moral of the story look before you shoot !!! Hope you enjoy the view :)

    Beautiful image Varinia, the light on the cliff walls is sensational, but you wouldn’t have had to earn it with blood if I’d been there carrying your stuff :)

  • Thanks Peter, should have listened to you huh ?? :D
