I finally got the opportunity to shoot the world famous sunrise spot known as Mesa Arch!!! I was staying in Moab, and woke up at 4:00am to head towards the trail, located in Canyonlands National Park. I arrived at the arch around 5:30am, two hours before sunrise, only to find I was not the first one there!! I then spent the next two hours getting to know this awesome fellow photographer @emiliomag. At 7:30, surrounded by 10-20 other photographers, the sunrise madness began! Hope you enjoy my contribution to this iconic location!
