Photographer's Note
Today new features are being formed as old ones are destroyed. Erosion and weathering work slowly but relentlessly, creating dynamic landforms that gradually change through time. Change sometimes occurs more dramatically. In 1991 a rock slab 60 feet (18 meters) long, 11 feet (3.40 meters) wide, and four feet thick fell from the underside of Landscape Arch, leaving behind an even thinner ribbon of rock. Delicate Arch, an isolated remnant of a bygone fin, stands on the brink of a canyon, with the dramatic La Sal Mountains as backdrop.

Hello Zbigniew,
Magnificent how those narrow rock formations rise high in the sky and stand out against the clear blue background.
The plants in the shadow in the foreground add more depth to the photo.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Zbigniew, the weathered rock faces stand out beautifully against the blue sky. It is possible to see the layers from when the rocks were first formed.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Witaj Zbigniew
I have been fortunate enough to visit Moab and the Arches National Park. Stunning warm cold colour contrasts with good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Overwhelming nature, Zbigniew, the size of the standing rocks, the colors and most of all, the formation. Picture superbly taken with favorable light condition that brought out details in fine manner.
Have a nice new week,
Ike

Hello Zbigniew,
What a magnificent sight!
The rocks appear like huge, eroded castle walls, standing defiantly against the blue sky.
The details are crisp and well composed, with an 'entrance' into the b/g, giving excellent depth.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Zbigniew
Must be a photographer's dream landscape! A stellar capture which gives us an idea of scale with the magnificent rock formations and colours. Would be most welcome framed and hung in my living room....
Fab composition and capture
Best regards

cześc Zbyszek, Dla mnie Arches to najciekawszy park narodowy, no może poza Yellowstone. Te wszystkie ściany, skalne okna, pustynia robią niesamowite wrażenie. Grand Canyon jest imponujący, ale w sumie w każdym miejscu podobny.
Rzeczywiście, odwiedziłam Siergieja u niego w Krasnokamsku, on mnie odwiedził w Warszawie. Potem "spotykaliśmy się " na Facebooku. Uważałam go za prawdziwego przyjaciela, nie tylko wirtualnego.
Pozdrawiam Małgorzata

Hello Zbigniew,
Of all rock formations ... I find this one/picture is the best.
I always love to see this kind of 'extraordinary' canyon which can only be seen in US.
It's a very Delicate Arch , so fragile and yet still standing majestic tall against the ever blue sky.
Seeing this scene , reminder me of the 'Cowboy in the Apache Land' attacking each other.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful 'Arches'.
