Spokes

One of my hobbies involves an old Corvette. Consequently, I belong to a club devoted to other like-minded individual's passion.

This is a tight shot of one of the wheels on a Corvette Z06 at one of the car shows my club puts on. Held in Port Dover Ontario.

Arches Forming, Moab, Utah


Along the "North" shore of the Colorado River just West of Moab, Utah, there are massive cliffs which are showing the earlier stages of arch formation. In the nearby Arches National Park, fully formed arches abound. But here we can see how the wind and weathering has begun to carve out the characteristic bowl shaped cuts into the face. Over time these will develop into arches, just not in my lifetime.
