4) Not the Arch, but nearby and for some reason I can't put my finger on, I like it! :D

    Thank you, Walter!
    I was pretty happy to get to the Arch in time for the good lighting... though a little earlier would have been nice as some areas were getting pretty dark shadows already...

    I haven't tried it in B&W (to be honest, it hadn't even crossed my mind for some reason ne_nau.gif ) but I've got the whole weekend scheduled for "work" so I'll give it a try for sure!

    Sorry but...

    ...the second image is my fav!

    If you ever get the chance, there's a natural bridge just outside of Payson, Arizona that you might want to...

    ...keep from slipping off of!

    Did a quick search on the natural bridge in AZ, looks really awesome! I'll try to include it on my itinerary next time I'm in that area... thumb.gif
