I just returned from 30 day long outing in Southwest US before my return to Euro. I had some great time, and hopefully I didn't fail to capture some of the light I witnessed in the field. This is one image that I was hoping to capture for years. Delicate Arch is well known and photographed "Icon". About 10 years ago I was there and this big storm rolled in, and ever since I was hoping to capture something similar with my camera. Many times I have hiked up there only to have empty blue sky, but this time I finally got my reward. Big clouds, lightning, wind (record winds with gusts up to 70 MPH), all of the good stuff happened, and believe me it was quite scary at times, but at the end I sucked it up, and this is my reward.

Hope you enjoy,
Tomas

Beautiful...and a great story to go with it.

When I went there it was a nice clear evening - boring composition.

Excellent as usual. I've seen this place in images so often, but rarely that spooky.
