'The Organ' - Courthouse Towers - Arches

Early morning light: "The Organ" in Courthouse Towers, Arches National Park, Utah - with the Tower of Babel in the background. The Organ is a huge sandstone fin formation.
View on Black

Why the highway? I purposely chose to make the road in the foreground a prominent feature because this was 1) the best distance and angle to show how thin this sandstone "fin" feature is; and 2) to show how truly accessible so many of Arches' features are to the public!
