Blue Mesa Arch

One of the most photographed features of the West is Mesa Arch. A team of photographers went on a mission to capture this landmark under different light. The perfect opportunity was a winter moonrise at 12:30AM. The timing was perfect, as skies were clear, yet a fog layer permeated the valley floor, creating a mysteriously white glow to the distant La Sal Mountains.
