Landscape Wider view, Arches Nat'l Park, Utah

Wider view, Arches Nat'l Park, Utah · 02:23 PM

This is a wider view of the detail picture of a "mishap waiting to happen" published previously. This gives a better understanding of the scale of the landscape.

It does give a better idea of scale. Now, if you had been sitting on top ….

(It's for Pentax, you understand.)

**RICHARD L.** · 12-14-2019, 04:10 PM

Ha Ha ! I would be very worried if i were sitting on this particular piece of real estate ... lol !

Oh my.... though it's tempting to go and push it

**RICHARD L.** · 12-15-2019, 07:23 PM

The second picture gives some idea of the scale of the landscape. The "split rock" is about the size of a large van.

.. when will it fall, when will it fall ?

I sure wouldn't stand underneath it, especially on a windy day! Of course, it may take a tornado or earthquake to dislodge it. Love the colors.

Cool! that's a neat balancing rock!

From time to time famous rocks do call down.The shore of Lake Superior lost one in a storm this winter.

Wow, I wonder how this can happen. Maybe this is a piece of rock that fell from above and is still standing by some weird physic rule? Thanks for sharing.

This sounds like the beginning of a YouTube video that ends badly!

(I'll still watch, but only from way over here.)

Given the scale, I doubt a single man could make this fall.

I think it would be even quite safe to land on the top, but I'll let more courageous photographers try.

**swip** · 12-28-2019, 08:56 PM

If it falls, how high is the drop?

**RICHARD L.** · 12-28-2019, 09:24 PM

It must have been over 100 feet (30 m) high.

**BigDave** · 12-28-2019, 09:54 PM

Nice subject. I might just have the two pinnacles on the right in the shot, vertical orientation, but there seems to be a lot to work with at this particular site!
