Wilson Arch

[JimFox]

After leaving Moab this morning heading sought on hwy 191 came across Wilson Arch. It’s a huge arch that is next to the road. Since it was morning, I did work a few shots with the sun.

This was processed from the D850 to the iPhone with only global adjustments, so I couldn’t remove the small flare, I will correct that later. But all things considered I was pleased with the way the sunstar came out.

Looks good Jim. Any idea who the arch was named after?

Is this on the road to Banding from Moab, next to the hole in the wall? Neat image.

Looks like it might be fun playing with those foreground icy streaks as leading lines too.

Interesting processing technique. Looks nice with the sun stars and the snow patches.

Thanks Ben. Yeah, it’s not too far from the Hole in the Wall.

Glad you liked this Kyle. Yeah, I liked those ice steaks too and purposely put my 16mm on to get in and work some of those. So I do have a few different versions of the ice, but only a few with the sunstar.

Visited Wilson’s Arch in 2012, but have not returned. I enjoyed seeing your image and reminded me of this image taken then.

This arch was named after Joe Wilson who was a local pioneer.

This is sure a cool shot of it John. It’s interesting to see it without all of the snow.
