A Big Arch
Filed under Mike's photos, Travel Photos, Utah, hiking, on the road, parks, photography, places, travel
A composite image from several photos.
I was too close to get the whole thing in the viewfinder, so took some overlapping images and used autostitch to assemble them into one image. That’s why some of the people look a little ghostly. They were in two or more of the overlapping images and got “blended” into the scenery.
The same arch can be seen from a closer viewpoin in Utah Sky in a Natural Frame.
Photos in this composite image were taken September 24, 2007.
