It's Phun Phriday again and time to talk about more Phun in Moab, Utah area.
No one who dares call themselves a photographer could possibly go to Moab, Utah and not get up very early one morning to drive the 32 miles or so and then hike in about 1/4 mile to get up to Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park to catch the sunrise. For our part we were there about 6:20 to be ready. The Arch faces almost due East and as you can see by the photo of the front of the arch below, immediately under the arch is a very large wall that reflects the morning sun up onto the underside creating the beautiful glow that you see on the photo above..
We were lucky because we got there on a morning when there weren't as many visitors as there are on many days, but I had to share the photo below to show you what it looks like behind the arch as the sun rises.
Since it is Phun Phriday, just phor phun when you leave your comment tell me how many were there for the sunrise that morning? I'll post the correct answer on Sunset Sunday.
As you know by now photography should be Phun and that's why I have my Phun Phriday! posts. Have you done something Phun, weird and/or creative lately? If so, leave a link to it in your comment or just tell us it's there so we can go find it. If not, I'd really love to hear from you anyway.
Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me. I look forward to hearing from you! Did you notice? Now you can click below and share this post with your friends on facebook!

i see about 19 photographers and i am thinking there are more watchers not in the photo, so i am guessing 100. the first shot at first glance i thought it was reflecting in water, had to take another stare to figure it out. gorgeous as always
23! Gorgeous sunburst in that sunrise!
Jealous..... will get there some day. I'm guessing 16 people, what's the one guy doing...laying down! Wake the poor guy up or have you taken his spot while he snoozes:)
Looks like you must be there early to get a spot...I see 20...
I will say 18 and I had some photographic phun with rain drops over by my place. Happy Earth Day, Scott
I know what you mean. This is just one of the long list of items that seperates you from me in photography. I can't get out of bed and into the cold so early in the morning for that spectacular shot. My guess...21.
Wow, what fantastic shots! I'm partial to the first one though! (: Looks like fun!
I say there were22 people,21 in the picture and the one who took it.This a gorgeous sunrise spot.
Beautiful sunrise! I'm interested in the guy lying on the ground in the last photo. Is he trying to get an interesting perspective or is he taking a nap now that the sun has come up? Ha! :) ~ I have a question. Can you tell me how got the number of followers you have to not show up next to the follow link. Normally the follow gadget shows the actual number. I'd like to take my number off, but I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks!
What a beautiful sunrise photo!
I think I saw 22 people in the photo, and someone else took it, so I'm saying there were 23 people at the arch.
How beautiful is that, Scott! You're such a trooper ... not me, I couldn't get up for that sunrise. Can't help with your question ... I'm terrible with numbers. Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
Scott I LOVE your first photo. I see 22 people in the shot and counting you taking the photo that would make 23? I'll check back on Sunday to see if I missed someone.
Have a wonderful and happy Easter!
That first photo is amazing! Early birds get their worms. Very nice set of photos. Been to Moab many years ago when I had no interest in cameras or photos.
Pretty!
Oh, I'd love to get there one day. Seems like a pretty popular place, but the photos are great!
I really like that first photo. You were there at the right time.
I am SO glad you posted the details about the sunrise at Mesa Arch. I wondered how it was sharing the scene with so many others who are bound to be there...now I know. This place is on my bucket list!!!!!
