Edward Abbey, noted naturalist and author, wrote this: "There are several ways of looking at Delicate Arch. Depending on your preconceptions you may see the eroded remnants of a sandstone fin, a giant engagement ring cemented in rock, a bow-legged pair of petrified cowboy chaps, a triumphal arch for a procession of angels, an illogical freak, a happening.... If Delicate Arch has any significance it lies, I will venture, in the power of the odd and unexpected to startle the senses and surprise the mind out of their ruts of habit, to compel us into a reawakened awareness of the wonderful-that which is full of wonder."
Delicate Arch is located in Arches National Park, near Moab in SE Utah.

This is a stunning piece, I see a majestic sandstone rock proudly standing its ground against the harsh desert winds...just waiting for Wile E Coyote to run past now 🤣🤣
