This picture shows me in deep contact with a vast expanse of sandstone in an attempt to reach Enlightenment. (Details about this practice are available at the gallery level.) Park rules do not prohibited this practice.

Delicate Arch, the shadow-casting "upside-down U" in the background, is a pseudo-religious shrine for photographers but for me it is merely one feature in a mind-boggling landscape of canyons, fins, blobs, amphitheaters, etc. This landscape reminds me how insignificant I am in the scheme of things in the universe.

My sober assistant, Joe Tripod, claims that while he held my camera still for this photo, I was babbling incoherently.
