Plateau Pic #2
This is a 'rock window' which is the way arches and natural bridges start, such as the Twin Arches in Big South Fork NRRA. You can compose any number of abstracts out of this formation, and the colors are wild. The blue sky and reddish and yellowish rock (and film response) made the purple cast on the sand to the left. The dark recess near center bottom will be another window in a few thousand years.

Cheers, Steve

Really cool shot and wonderful formation! Looks like the desert sw except for the trees thru the window.

The lines and color variations lead you all through this shot. Nice and thanks for sharing.
