Photographer's Note
Utah's first National Monument was Natural Bridges in 1908. Today accessible by a hiking trail 1 kilometer one way.
"The largest and most spectacular of the three bridges (or arches) in the Monument is Sipapu Bridge. "Sipapu" is a Hopi term for the opening between worlds, the present name was given by William Douglas, who led a government survey party to the bridges in 1908, mapping the exact boundaries of the new national monument."

Hello Ray,
this enormous and unusual rock formation could really be considered both an arch and a bridge. Although the sharpness isn't perfect, we can survey the scenery easily, it's very interesting and the play of light and shadow gives it a special allure. I like the way you managed the contrast. The cloud flying over the arch is a delight. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Tried to picture this in color, I think I like the B&W better. Great pov especially catching the cloud through the hole. Good use of the tree as frame. Nice lighting and good contrast. Well done, tfs.
