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.
