I'm not sure if this is an arch or a bridge as I couldn't see the base of it well enough to tell if there is a runoff channel under it. It may even be three toadstool/hoodoos really close together giving the illusion of an arch. You'd have to scramble up onto the white ledge to find out. All I really cared was that it was quite colorful and interesting to look at and photograph. You folks in the Springs really should head out to Calhan and check this place out.

That's my vote. Cool shot regardless! I really like the inclusion of the greenery in the FG. I've not ever seen a shot from here with anything other than the sandstone features.

Wow - those colors are amazing! Plus the deep blue sky. Very cool. I'll have to get down there soon. :smile:
