A single white cloud hovers above a towering rock pinnacle in the center of this image, while flanking cliffs at right and left close in to dominate the picture. The foreground is a sloping grassland with abundant low trees and shrubs.

A rocky #scape behind Grosvenor Arch in Grand Staircase-Escalante Natl. Mon. - I found these towering cliffs to be just as scenic as the arch itself (and far less photographed).
