Sunrise, Turret Arch through North Window, Arches National Park: a Trophy

As the June 1st sun rose and lit up North Window in Arches National Park, its light through South Window created a bright spot at the base of Turret Arch. As a result, in this one image, you see all three: North Window, Turret Arch and South Window (as the shadow that Plato would have seen in the cave).

This shot through North Window has been photographed countless times that it has become a "must have" trophy for photographers venturing to Arches National Park. For amusement, search Flickr for "turret arch through north window arches national park". I got tired of counting after 170 and quit.
