Natural Arch Website

I ran across a really cool website for anyone who might be interested in natural arches. The site is http://www.archmillennium.net/ and is maintained by Guilain Debossens.

Southern Utah has thousands of natural arches and I love looking at them and photographing them. If you look at this site under the "special areas" tag on the left-hand side you can find hundreds of links to pages with photos of natural arches from all over the world. There are quite a few sections devoted to parts of Utah and the Four Corners area.

Here is his shot of Cliff House Arch in the Escalante River Canyon a few miles upstream from the highway 12 bridge. This is taken from the rim of the canyon, right next to the arch.


Here is one of my photos of the same arch from the canyon floor.


And here is the satellite view courtesy of Google Maps.
