The story behind the image
Arches National Park is one of the really impressive parks in Utah, because it is full of stunning rock formations. While the majority of the formations are arches or windows, there are some other formations as well. For example, these impressive Fin Rocks that can be seen and accessed easily from the Sand Dune Arch Trailhead.
I like the way the hat, the light pink shirt and the white socks of the hiker contrast with the shadows. Also, the presence of the hiker shows the true size of the rocks.
Very nice.
