Pole Position at Mesa Arch, 2018

I wasn't planning on shooting the sunrise at Mesa Arch when I passed through town in March 2018, but when you wake up at 3:30am for no apparent reason, you just have to assume there's a purpose for it. It was too light to do any real star photography by the time I arrived in Canyonlands National Park, but I did manage to stake out the prime spot to catch the sunrise under the very popular (even in early March) Mesa Arch. Worth a little lost sleep, anyhow.
