Mesa Arch

April 20, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

There are so many things to do in the Moab area that even a week was not enough time to accomplish everything.  I left five of the mornings before 4:30 AM to photograph a sunrise and was only disappointed one time.  I went to Mesa Arch the day before but there was a layer of clouds hiding the sun.  Our last morning in Moab I reached Mesa Arch 1.5 hours before sunrise to improve my chances of getting a good spot to photograph through the arch.  Within 10 minutes a second photographer came and by sunrise a total of 40 photographers crunched together hoping to capture the sunrise.  The orange glow under the arch is actually the sunlight reflecting off the red rocks at the base of Mesa Arch rather than directly from the sunrise.  There is something about the calm, beauty of God's nature that keeps me in awe and excited for the next adventure!  You can view more photos of Moab at http://www.marblejones.com/p505280945
