Beautiful shot.

That's a great shot of double arch. Every time I've been there I had to fight my way through the crowds. Very easy access from the road.

I have always loved this arch. Thanks for the photo.

I drive the road through the Windows Section fairly often, but I rarely stop because it is so busy. This time of the year, though, there's hardly anyone in the park, and its the first real sunlight I've seen in weeks, so I stopped. What surprised me though was once I got near the arches, I ran into a guy and his wife I've known for a lot of years, and we chatted a while. Otherwise, the only other people who were there were two 30-something couples from Buffalo, New York. They'd brought a bright blue blanket and had it --and a cooler and some other odds and ends-- spread out in what would've been plain view from anyone approaching along the trail. I sort of liked getting one of the guys in one of the shots, but had to do some maneuvering at other vantage points I shot from to avoid getting the blanket and the foursome in the views.

This image is a pano, comprised of two rows of eleven shots each. Having four people running around over the course of that many exposures would've made the place look like there was a crowd out there.

Very beautiful view of the Double Arch. So many years have passed since I hiked at dawn to Rainbow Arch, but I well remember it was a struggle to reach our destination;several of our tour group didn't. It's a great NP and you captured this view so well, Cany.

Thanks, Mike. There'd been a dusting of snow the night before, so when the overcast and fog finally burnt off, and the sun finally came out, I was pretty surprised. (Sun? what's that? I've heard of this 'sun' thing but before yesterday, I've barely seen it for a month or so, and I'd sort of forgotten.) Still, even though temps yesterday got up to around 40 degrees, it might be a little early to slather up with the Coppertone.

And its snowing lightly (again) as I write this....

Pretty awesome image. Where is the snow this time of year per your recent posts?

Cany143 Loc: SE Utah

Not sure if I know exactly what you're asking. Where is the snow? The simplest answer is 'its in places that remain shaded throughout the day.' Beyond that, describing where (and why) it is and where (and why) it isn't gets tricky, especially to someone who isn't normally surrounded by the varieties of elevations, the production of microclimates those elevations produce, and the effects of one elevation's microclimate on the ones above and/or below it from one day/night cycle to the next. And all in a relatively small area. Where I live, for example, the elevation is 3996 feet above sea level. My yard is clear of snow (south facing, generally), but there's still snow on the shady side of my next door neighbor's place. About a mile from my home a cliff face (technically, its a near vertical side wall of a valley) rises slightly over 1,000 feet. It faces in a north easterly direction, so at most, it receives less than an hour of sunlight this time of year --and then only in the mornings, well before 'the heat of the day'--, and anything that isn't vertical is covered in snow. Cold air drops, canyons large and small funnel that dropping air, and directs and increases it like a venturi funnels air in a carburetor. Add in daytime temps several degrees above freezing, relative humidity, and fifty other factors, and that's where the snow is.

Excellent download, Cany!

Very nice image Jim. You captured it from a better angle than I did when I was there 10 years ago.
