We visited Arches National Park enroute to Colorado, again. This time we assembled pictures from positions
not usually viewed. Of course, this is an opinion as it seems the full frontal from slightly right of the icon is
the photograph of choice. After hiking on the snow-capped mountains and in heavy snow, too of Colorado and New Mexico,
the semi-desert conditions of Utah together with Delicate Arch make for a contrast. It's certainly easier on the muscles.
Isn't it one of life's ironies or our funny minds but when it's very hot, we long for the cold and of course, vice-versa.
This is an unusual position across the canyon, behind Delicate Arch.
Taken from in the bowl below the arch.
The more formal view of the Arch framing my favorite. (Through the arch one can see the La Salle Mountains.)
Our favorite position at the arch; a place of tranquility and brunch.
Unfortunately, this is a painful situation as the editor panics after finding herself in 'no woman's land'.
Although the picture does not capture the depth, there is quite a fall-off. It's a strange phenomenon but the longer
one remains in a position like the one portrayed, the more one is inclined to feel like falling forward. Odd!
This might be known as the 'delicate leap'. Don't worry, dear editor, 'supercrock' to the rescue.
Side view of the not so Delicate Arch.
Looking down sharply.
Looking up from behind and slightly below the icon with the sun shining 'full-on'.
Side view from a little forward and slightly below surface.
Across the canyon in a less-well-known position behind and to the side. One hikes through a canyon followed
by rock scrambling to reach the position.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
