Mesa Arch day after Thanksgiving 2006. Elbow to elbow with 20 other photographers we good naturedly jockeyed for position until the sun came up and gave us perfect conditions to capture one of natures most beautiful scenes.
Equipment: Nikon d200 12-24 Tokina

You see this and wonder how it is that people don’t know God! What a masterpiece he created for us.

I was just taking a tour of “earthshots”. Honestly i cant believe this photo was taken by a camera. This is un believable.

Your a lucky person, great shot….I would love to be there to take a shot like that.

I have been to Arches np in May 2007 and loved it. It is by far my fav US national park. Your picture is very good, both technically and esthetically. Lovely colors and excellent composition.

I wonder if someone called this ‘HOME’ sometime in the past.

Dear Mike,
Simply amazing.
THIS is an example of what we experienced when we were in the SW. I absolutely loved our trip to the parks of the SW. I still dream about some of it e.g. one afternoon when we had settled in at Goulding’s Lodge in Monument Valley. I was sitting out on the terrace of our room, which overlooked the monuments, writing post cards and looked up to see storm approaching with rain and lightning. It is truly memorable.
Thanks for a lovely reminder

My husband and I were there a few years ago, but NOW know we should have been there earlier in the morning. Awesome!!
I think this picture would be “great” above my fire place. Do you sell prints of it??
Karin
The picture moved me to tears…..the closest feeling of God on earth…Please let me know where I can have the gift of the print and where it can be purchased.
Becky
I’ve been looking for this pic for about 8 months…..I got it mixed up w/another photographer’s pic.taken at the same location…
This is surely the best one ever!!……Makes me feel like I’m in heaven…..How large is a print and what’s the cost? …Hopefully I can puchase one……
Becky
I forgot to ask permission to use Canyon Sunrise as my desktop scenery also.
Wendy
Absolutely stunning!!! Good job Mike and thank you God for making something so gorgeous! How much to buy a copy?
