Here's a landscape image for something different after so many wildlife images recently. It's El Portal Arch in Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. We had gone out in the afternoon to photograph a series of arches and decided to take a small detour on the way back to check out one more arch. As we were approached El Portal Arch, I saw the Moon rising and scrambled to take advantage of the situation before the Moon rose too high. The image was made from two exposures, one with the focus on the arch and one with the focus on the Moon.
