Delicate Arch

Location: Arches National Park, Utah
Date: 28 December 2001
Camera: Pentax ZX-50
Delicate Arch sits on the edge of a bowl-like mountain-top. The geologists say that the bowl was carved out through wind and water erosion, and the arch is a part of the remnant of the bowl's edge. Whatever the story, it's really beautiful.
