[Leica] A Few Arches

[leicar at q.com (Aram Langhans)]

WARNING ? all rocks??

One of the main ?goals? of this trip was to see some arches.   I had always
wanted to do so, and never thought I would.  Thanks to my father-in-law?s
desire to see them, my wife was convinced.  Here are a few that we saw in
Arches National Park.
There are quite a few more, but for most the lighting was not that great
when we got to them, or we could not hike to them w/o leaving my 86 year old
father-in-law behind for too long.  Even though he said to go ahead, my wife
felt guilty.

And a lesser known park ? Natural Bridges National Monument ? has three very
nice arches in it, every bit as good as the ones we saw at Arches National
Park.

Most were taken with a 17-70 Sigma on my Rebel, as I do not have a Leica
lens wide enough for the 1.6 crop factor of the Rebel XTi.

Comments welcome.
