There are three arches visible in this picture. Two of which are those of the Double Arch in Arches National Park in Utah. The third is the majestic arch of the milky way, far off in the distance. The arches of the Double Arch are made of sandstone, which consists of many tiny grains of quartz and feldspar cemented together. In a way, the third arch of the galactic plane is similarly comprised in that it's appearance is the result of millions of individual stars and countless particles of gas and dust. It is this similarity which is illustrated here that makes this photo so interesting for me.
