precipitous

Mesa Arch, Canyonlands NP, Island in the Sky district, Utah

there are only so many ways to photograph Mesa Arch, and they have all been done numerous times..at best current conditions can allow some variations...it is a slightly peculiar spot too, with rising rock partially blocking a frontal view, and a precipitous dropoff immediately through the arch itself pre-empting a reverse look..

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 12-24mm - 1/320s f/11.0 at 19.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
