Double Arch Desert Landscape Photo Large Clock

It's a hot August day in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. In this colour photograph, two immense Entrada Sandstone arches give the very impressive Double Arch its name. The foreground arch forms a rough oval opening near the centre of the frame. The rock formation extends out to the left, in sun, and to the right, in shadow. Through it the second arch curves down to meet the rock wall in the background. The light-coloured sandstone shows many dark striations in its shadowed portions. Beyond and above the arches, three sections of light blue sky highlight the tan sandstone structures. 35 mm, colour photograph. Copyright ©Claire E. Skinner. All rights reserved.
