Delicate Arch closer, a photo from Utah, West

Photographer's Note

"There are several ways of looking at Delicate Arch. Depending on your preconceptions you may see the eroded remnants of a sandstone fin, a giant engagement ring cemented in rock, a bow-legged pair of petrified cowboy chaps, a triumphal arch for a procession of angels, an illogical freak, a happening...If Delicate Arch has any signficance it lies, I will venture, in the power of the odd and unexpected to startle the senses and surprise the mind out of their ruts of habit, to compel us into a reawakened awareness of the wonderful - that which is full of wonder."
----- EDWARD ABBEY naturalist

Hello, Ray!

This incredible landscape in black and white looks great, and I find the name of the arch very interesting after observing how delicate it looks like! Wonderful composition! Well done!
