Nature's contrast

The Arches National Park, Utah, USA. An unspoilt wilderness showing some of the most remarkable rock formations to be seen on the planet. This view is through the trail called Park Avenue. Just managed to retain some detail in the shadows despite the high ( close to mid-day ) contrast. The area is a photographer's dream - if you have the time. Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon and many other areas of natural beauty lie within a comfortable few hours drive from here.
