Sand Dune Arch

Arches National Park, UT view map

A night shot from inside the cavern. I should have done some light painting to illuminate the interior portions.
The clouds and sandstone walls are illuminated by the Moon, with the image below taken very close by.

Terrific shot of the sky through the opening Sam. Also, the small section of rock lit by the moon gives one a good idea of what the cave walls are like. I like the image the way it is.
