WC #153- Alpenglow Reflections

Hello everyone. This image was shot about four years ago in Arches National Park. In fact, it's only about a 1/4 mile from one of the biggest photo icons around, Delicate Arch. Near the end of the trail to Delicate, right before you head up the last stone ramp, you can head slightly NW into this awesome valley. I was lucky enough to come across this lone pool of water in my roaming, and parked myself here during an awesome sunset. And the best part was that except for my buddy Glen, we had the place to ourselves, while 60 or so folks shot up at Delicate. Thanks for looking!

By the way, here is an image shot from up at the Delicate Arch overlook, back down into the valley mentioned above:

Nice one Brent. Good work. Sometimes looking down is as rewarding as looking up.
