Mesa Arch 2009

Canyonlands National Park

Limited Edition

This small and rather ordinary looking arch comes "alive" at sunrise on a clear morning. As the light from the rising sun strikes the cliff face below the arch the filtered light is reflected up onto the bottom surface of the arch. This phenomenon lasts only about 15 minutes. I have never been to Mesa arch when there weren't more photographers there that their was room to stand!
