Double Arch Evening - Arches National Park, Moab, Utah

One of my favorite rock formations that I have shot is located in Arches National Park. I have shot there quite a few times and have determined it is best shot early in the mornings. The few times I have shot it in evening light have not come out very well, so I had given up on shooting there at that time. On my last visit, I had just arrived in Moab in the late afternoon and decided to take a quick spin into Arches National Park. As I headed toward the Windows and Turret Arch area, I thought about my reluctance on shooting Double Arch at this time of day. Despite this, I made a stop and this was the scene that I saw. I quickly realized that whatever I had experienced before had led me to false conclusions. Maybe the time of the early evening was different in the past, but the glow through the arches was wonderful. While I still think that Double Arch is better in morning light, suffice to say I will visit it in early evening light more in the future.
