Description

This son was taken by my 17-year-old son James T. Klopp and is submitted on his behalf. Here is his description of the photo:

This phot was taken on our last night in Arches National Park in August 2025. This family with kids is standing or sitting at the base of Balanced Rock. in the background, a picturesque scene can be seen as the almost full moon rises above the Sierra La Sal Mountains in the west. As the sun was setting in the east, its final light can be seen reflecting off the snow-covered peaks, producing a faint lavender glow. The family offers a sense of scale in front of the moon. the one boys arm in the air says it all as they take in the beautiful scene.
