This is known as the Double Arch, in Arches National Park, US. Scanned from a photo I took in July 1981. "Double Arch is famous for the close-set pair of arches-- one of the more impressive features of Arches National Park in Utah, USA. There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches. The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist. Double Arch was formed differently than most of the arches in Arches National Park. It is known as a Pothole Arch - it formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side." From Wikipedia.

Took this photo of Courthouse Towers on 31st July 1981 on a family holiday to Arches National Park, USA. It shows the Three Gossips and Sheep Rock. This bitterly cold, snowy weather we are having at the moment is making me reminisce about long ago holidays. Think I've only had maybe two holidays since then (anywhere), so I feel lucky to have memories to look back on.

Scan from an old photo taken on 31 July 1981on a family holiday to Arches National Park, USA. This shows Courthouse Towers, which includes the Three Gossips, Sheep Rock, Tower of Babel and The Organ. This view makes me think of one of my favourite places, Monument Valley.
