Mesa Arch Sunrise @ Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
Cozy on up and plant your tripod...you will not be alone. Truly a spectacle to witness in person. Mother Nature really knows how to show off at this venue. This was the "2nd showing" of sunrise. The first starburst occurs as the sun breaks the horizon, but the problem is the lack of reflected light on the under belly of this arch. Waiting for the 2nd starburst to occur (when the sun crosses the underside of the arch) occurs just about the time the masses were packing up. So by all means, don't leave too early since I found the colors to be much richer about 1-2 hour after the first starburst.
Afterwards, head on back to Moab and stop by the Jailhouse Cafe for a cup of Joe and breakfast...best in town.
