Howdee all,
It seems like just yesterday…but it was five years ago …Yikes..time flies..
We spent a few weeks at Arches. An amazing place!
These photos were taken before I had a camera..so these photos are complements of my Husband, Jeff! Enjoy!
The red stone against the blue skies ..dramatic backdrop…
For more beautiful skies…click on the photo below!
I hate to sound trite, but...AWESOME!!!!
ReplyDeleteGives me chills to look at it. I'll now add Utah to my list of places I'd love to see. Dooce has some pictures on her blog--a completely different view of it. Think you'll go back? (I'm not asking so that I can hook onto your bumper--I was just curious.)

ReplyDeleteThanks..Would love to go back and will.. .just not sure when..! And wouldnt mind one bit if you tagged on the bumper! would be fun!
Who is Dooce? I must see her blog!
Exciting photos. this is a place I would love to visit.
ReplyDeleteAh, the amazing power of erosion. The arches are stately and awe inspirering.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at a trip to Arches, about 300 miles away, for one of my 3-day weekends. A long drive, yet now I am more inspired.
Thanks Dawn. Have fun birding!
I've been out there a few times, and it is always awe inspiring. Nice shots Jeff!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these, but they are as spectacular as any man made structure. I will have to check them out sometime.

ReplyDeleteThose are so awesome! The formations are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI just love the fourth picture... the one with the sun peeking out on the left!

Beautiful sculptures - they almost seem like something from another world. The sky and stone really complement each other. Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn, Great pictures. I am slowly falling for the dramatic western scenery. Sad to miss your weekend get together for bird bloggers but I have to work worst luck. I will be there in spirit!
ReplyDeleteLuke
Compliments to your husband!
ReplyDeleteYes, these have to be the best. Earth and Sky in all their glory!
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteEven tho I visited this area a long time ago,..I ALWAYS have time to appreciate the awesome sculptural creations that Mother Nature provides. Your husband's photos are very nice and he sure captured the arches when the lighting was perfect for some neat shadows. An amazing area to roam and explore with so many incredible vistas..
I would go back in a drop of a hat!!
My wife and are planning to visit Arches next year in our RV--can't wait--enjoyed your pictures!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photographs! This place I am adding to my bucket list for sure.

Hi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI love Arches - was there last year with some friends. Your pics brought back good memories.
Those rock formations amaze me. An incredible balancing act against the background of the sky.
ReplyDeleteHave fun birding tomorrow, and don't forget to take and share lots of photos.
WOW ... those are very dramatic shots !!
ReplyDeleteWell done !!
You have been to some pretty cool places nobaloo..
ReplyDeleteWOW! Dawn.....great pics.....and your blog is looking great...the soil colored bg makes all the difference......great one...
ReplyDeleteOH my!! Arches National Park! Are you getting ready to go again? About 7 yrs ago I had the chance to go to that area for 3 weeks (couldn't pass it up even though it meant trusting a VW Golf, 5 speed to get us there and back, and it did!) Camera back then? (hate to admit it - disposable.) Highlight had to be the Arches. Stand in awe. That's an area I will always want to see again.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to see the fantastic rock formations in Utah. We have nothing like this in the UK - obviously! These photos make it look so unearthly, like a 1970's sci fi book cover (but better of course)
ReplyDeleteGreener Bangalore
ReplyDeleteyeah an amazing place! awesome colors!
jayedized
yes..i agree..it is a must go back place! and we will return there someday! Disposable camera??? tee hee
