Double Arch Laptop Sleeve

It's a hot August day in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. In this colour photograph, two immense Entrada Sandstone arches give the very impressive Double Arch its name. To appreciate its massiveness, find the tiny person in the photo, just climbing up out of the shadow of the foreground arch. The foreground arch forms a rough oval opening near the centre of the frame. The rock formation extends out to the left, in sun, and to the right, in shadow. Through it the second arch curves down to meet the rock wall in the background. The light-coloured sandstone shows many dark striations in its shadowed portions. Beyond and above the arches, three sections of light blue sky highlight the tan sandstone structures. 35 mm, colour photograph. Copyright © 2004 Claire E. Skinner. All rights reserved.
