On the morning of June 9, 2023 I revisited this location with the hopes of capturing the early morning light on the towers. I had tried and failed a couple other times during our numerous visits to Arches National Park to get a shot of this location that inspired me.
The previous day I had spent some time scouting out the area using my PhotoPills app on my phone to find a location where the rising sunlight would be best illuminating the towers and the Three Gossips formation. I found this spot a short hike from the parking area.
Six AM the next morning found me standing next to my tripod awaiting the sunrise. There is nothing quite like the experience of being in the Utah deserts early in the morning. The smells, sounds and cool morning air overwhelm the senses. Watching the shadows creep across the landscape almost make one forget the photography task at hand.
