Last weekend was the Miata's in Moab event that Wanda hosts and has spent the last two years planning. Well before sunrise on Saturday I took a small group out to Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park.

The sunrise shot of Mesa Arch is a landscape classic. Photographers come from all over the world to take the sunrise photo. I have photographed Mesa Arch hundreds of times. With all those photos I have never really captured the magnificence of the sunrise here. Really none of the images I have seen from anyone else really captures it either.

But like these photographers we continue to try.

One thing this photo really does do is show what the light streaming through Mesa Arch is like at sunrise. You can see that magic hour light reflected by the red sandstone cliffs and rocks bellow on the underside of the arch and the fronts of the photographers.

It really is a magical place that we can never capture but we won't give up trying.
