Arch Light

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

    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.
