Delicate Arch at Night, Milky Way and Stars Overhead. Arches National Park, Utah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent a wonderful evening photographing Delicate Arch<\/a> in Arches National Park<\/a>. It was warm and dry, with a clear star-filled sky overhead and just a speck of breeze. I photographed Delicate Arch and the moon at sunset<\/a>, then kicked back and ate my dinner while I waited for Milky Way to rise in the sky. Eventually the Earth rotated enough for the Milky Way to be centered through Delicate Arch, and I made this photograph, one of my personal favorites of 2012. If you like this image, please see my website devoted to my full collection of Landscape Astrophotography images<\/a>. Thanks for looking, and cheers!<\/p>\n

Delicate Arch is found at the end of an easy 1.5 mile trail. 65-feet (20m) tall, this beautiful freestanding arch was once a “fin” of Entrada sandstone. Erosion and weathering eventually groomed the fin into its current arch shape, a natural visual frame for the La Sal mountains that lie to the southeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
