The National Parks

Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah

Many photographers, both amateur and professional, have taken thousands of photos of these landscapes.  But regardless of the artistic talent and technical skill of the photographer, to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, to see an arch at Arches National Park, to drive along Rte 24 in Utah to see Capitol Reef National Park, is to really see the land.

The photograph is of the Delicate Arch located in Arches National Park, Moab, Utah.

I come from the east where roads constantly twist and turn.
In the American West they travel straight, for miles.
It is a thing of beauty.
