Ready for the Close Up (2 photos) / by Dave Hileman

This is a photo of the Double Arch in Utah’s Arches National Park, an absolute wonderland of shapes, arches, turrets and trails. And I think Arches is my favorite of the Utah parks but that could change in five minutes. Just magical places. The second photo is to add scale to the formation. It is huge and you don’t get that unless you are close and suddenly you realize how immense these structures are that from a distance seem like small bumps on the vast landscape.
