Occasionally, I go through photograph files, \u00a0review images, and find some photos that I may have initially missed, made a mental note and forgotten, or that I have returned to, but skipped over. This photograph has always held something fleeting and each time I viewed it, I had the feeling there is something there. I vaguely remembered there was a small shaft of light in the slot and I tried to capture it while wedged as far into the slot as could maneuver. I had been disappointed when I loaded the files off my camera that I had not captured this pillar of light in the image. I was wrong, apparently I had, but was not aware of it hiding. As I studied the image and played with a couple of different exposure and contrast settings, the light shaft jumped out. I have no idea if the light was there or after I had wedged myself into the small slot; perhaps I was just lucky. I think the light makes an otherwise rather ordinary photo a bit more interesting. If you have never been to Sand Dune Arch (it is not on the list of most visited arches) here are a couple of images of the arch – the short hike through a narrow canyon to the arch \u00a0is ideal on hot days – the canyon is pleasantly cool and shaded.<\/p>\n![\"_DSC8123\"](\"http:\/\/boucherphotographie.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/dsc8123.jpg\")
