Landscape Arch

[JimFox]

I am in Arches NP today, and while scouting around for where I wanted to setup for my Milky Way Timelapses, I went to the Devils Garden area and ran over to Landscape Arch as I wanted to do a short Travel Guide for it.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I like the hints of green in the vegetation - that place always looks better to me in the spring.

Very nice Jim, I agree with Alan the green looks so cool against the sandstone. I have never been here must be an amazing place.

Thanks Alan! I am glad you like it. I guess I have been here in every season, multiple times a year that I hadn’t really compared one season to the next. The greens do look cool, so hopefully my IR images I took will look sweet too!

Thanks so much Dean. It really is an amazing place, you should schedule a trip out here sometime. It’s only 3 hours from Ridgway, so if you plan another fall color trip to SW CO, it’s easy to run over here for a day or two also.

Great shot of Landscape arch, must have been pretty early in the day.

Every time I have visited this arch, I have tried other compositions. I really like your straightforward view, Jim.

Thanks Ben.

It was actually late in the day, the sun was directly in the shot. I took some where the arch blocked the sun, but I preferred this where I went further north on the trail a bit to get the sun behind the bluff on the right side.

That was one reason I was running, besides just wanting to run the sun was getting low, I wanted to do the video for the travel guide, but I had to hurry as I hadn’t decided for sure where I wanted to setup for my Milky Way Timelapses. So I was short on time.

Nice foreground for this location.

Excellent colors between the green, the sandstone, and the sky! I would have guessed that this is blue hour, not sunset.

This is actually a little over an hour before sunset. I am not sure how it quite got this look as I didn't do anything special really. Maybe it's the way I have the sun moved behind the rock on the right side?
