The story behind the image

Arches National Park near Moab in Utah is one of the really impressive national parks. However, the area around Moab is attractive, too.

When we left the park towards sunset, we decided to take a drive along the Colorado River which was flowing ever so gently next to the highway. The rocks of the opposite side were showing some long shadows already and they were mirrored by the surface of the river.

I really like the deeply saturated natural colors and the almost perfect mirror image.

Very, very nice.
