Description This is one of several natural bridges that stand on Arches National Monument outside of Moab, Utah. The photo was taken on an October afternoon. I quickly learned that some of the arches were better photographed in the morning because they present their best lighting conditions in the AM. The skyline arch was the best illuminated arch during the PM hours in which I visited. The window in the arch is wide and tall enough for two railway trains to pass through side by side. The sandstone is of Jurassic age.
