The Organ and Tower of Babel Caught in the Golden Light of the Morning Sun (Arches National Park)

            A view captured just prior to the Courthouse Towers viewpoint. While there were other spots along the road that early morning to stop, this one seemed to best have that layered view in the landscape with one sandstone fin after another. Greens and yellows of the nearby desert vegetation and blue skies of the skies above would be the color contrast to complete the setting.
