Devils Garden and freight train (???)

Arches National Park (Moab, Utah)


What caught my eye when shooting this was the shapes of thered rock and patterns of light and shadows. I ignored the distant scenery. But during editing, I noticed a freight train in the background---a pleasant surprise. The train is near the bottom of the light gray scenery at middle right, is 13 miles (20km) away, and is visible in the original-size image. This view looks about northeast from the Devils Garden area of Arches National Park.

Thats exactly how I like trains, 13 miles away. No waiting for that one to go through a level crossing.

Awesome hasn't been said yet. It is, though, definitely. Great details. V.
