		| This is splendid.  I love the red rocks, the rich blue sky, the moon perfectly framed in the window.  Gorgeous and quintessential New Mexico.  I was raised in NM, spend many, many summers at camp at Ghost Ranch, love, love that part of the country.  No wonder Georgia stayed :) |

		Thanks for the nice comments!
 
 This is Talus Natural Arch a  bit east of the entrance to Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Just happened to be close to the right place at the right time. A little repositioning on my part after seeing the moon above the arch got me to just the right spot. |

		| Great exposure and composition, especially if this was a recent gibbous Moon and the arch and bush are hiding the dark part ... :-) |
