By far one of the most visited sites in Arches has to be Balanced Rock. There is always a traffic jam at the pullout from early morning to late at night, it’s worse at sunset when the sun just makes it glow. It seems so improbable that it could stay up there supported by such a *relatively* thin piece of rock. And then there are the paired pillars behind it. But lets not go there… It wasn’t very close to sunset when we drove past on our second day there but with that dead piece of juniper or pinyon tree lying there by the side of the road the image just worked for me it was just too bad that after all the laying in the sand and squirming about to compose it slightly off angle it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. Then I had the bright idea to try converting it to b&w. I think it works now.
