A view down the long lavatorium in the cloister of Gloucester Cathedral. A shelf plus basin in front of it extends the complete length towards a stained glass window at the end. The ceiling is elaborately carved in a series of interlinking fan-vaulted arches. On the right, seven pairs of stained glass windows can be seen, each one with three lights.

Lavatorium in Gloucester Cathedral has 14th C origins as facilities for monks in earlier abbey to wash.
The long evocative stretch of #SundayStonework on north of cloisters features elaborately wonderful #MarchArches + later #StainedGlassSunday.
And Harry Potter + Half Blood Prince has a scene here.

A thick orange sandstone bridge stands in the frame, the bottom arc showing the blue sky and a buff-colored sandstone bench in the distance. In front, leafless trees also frame the opening

And for my conclusion of #MarchArches, Kachina Bridge in #NaturalBridgesNationalMonument

Thanks @greg-willis.com for hosting the most interesting theme in BSKY. I missed so many by not having access to my photos. This is the only one on my laptop.

A view of Colonnade Arch. The yellow to buff colored sandstone has three dark openings in the front, and through one of these openings the sky peeks from an opening at the top. Sagebrush and a dead juniper tree lie in the foreground

A view out from Colonnade Arch showing all three openings. The arches frame the view of the Green River canyon lands below the horizon and a clear blue sky above

Another view out from Colonnade Arch, this one showing two arches. The left opening shows canyon lands and the right shows a red and buff sandstone slope. In front are dirt and rocks.

For today's #MarchArches, Colonnade Arch in #Utah near the Bowknot Bend of the Green River. It's got five openings — three in front & two on top

An arch of yellow sandstone frames a desert scene of green cedar trees and gray grassland. A cloudless blue sky appears above and below the arch, and a rise of more sandstone fills the lower right.

A black and white image, taken from underneath a small natural arch. A figure stands at the far base of the arch, with the sandstone stretching up to fill the top of the frame. Its shadow lies on the bottom left. The sky is clear with a few clouds near the horizon

Today's #MarchArches is my personal favorite -- Dutchman Arch in the Head of Sinbad area of the San Raphael Swell. So cute!

A steep orange canyon wall streaked with desert varnish fills the frame. In the center, a rib arcs down to the left, showing a gap below it. In front, green trees line a dry creekbed.

A black and white image. A rib of sandstone in the center arcs down to the right, with a shadow beneath it. A wall of layered sandstone streaked with desert varnish fills out the frame. Trees with white leaves stand at the bottom, with a black sky with a hint of clouds at the top.

For #MarchArches, here is Angel Arch, the largest natural arch in Canyonlands. Some consider it the most spectacular arch in the entire canyon country! It is in a side canyon of Salt Creek Canyon, my favorite #backpacking area in Canyonlands.

#AppreciatePublicLands #NationalParks #parkchat #nature

At the top of a steep layered canyon, a flash of clear blue sky comes through a bright sunlit arch. Above, more blue sky. Below, alternating banded cliffs and grassy slopes work their way down to the bottom.

Situated below the south rim but high above the South Kaibab Trail in #GrandCanyonNationalPark, today's #MarchArches is, alas, unnamed.

A narrow arc of orange-ish sandstone spans the width of a canyon. Below, the canyon floor lies mostly in shadow with dark green juniper trees in front. Beyond, the sun lights the canyon as if continues into the distance. Blue sky with light clouds appears both above and blow the arch

#MarchArches
How we always ignore the ones near us. I have traveled around the country to find #arches. But I didn’t even have a picture of the one right at home. I had to walk out to take the photo since I only had stills from a video.

A buff-colored sandstone fin juts out to the left from a shadowy canon rim on the right. The fin is in sunlight with a few figures on top. Behind in the distance is a reddish and craggy expanse of the south rim of the Grand Canyon, part of which can been seen through a triangular gap on the right

A cliffy rib with occasional trees stands in shadow. A sunlit gap shows the hazy sky. Yellowing trees and green pines fill the bottom. And in the distance, canyon rims and a the rise of a far mountain

There are over 2000 #arches in Arches NP so no wonder I can't remember the name of this one.

A desert canyon scene. In the top right, a blue sky peeks through a buff-colored sandstone arch. A bench of sandstone continues to the left, ending with a rock tower. Below, a dry, sandy landscape with a few green juniper trees and occasional gray sagebrush

Two figures with backpacks walk along a jeep road in front. A desert landscape of green juniper trees and gray sagebrush stretched in from. In the distance is a lumpy sandstone formation, where on the left one can see a sandstone arch among the lumps

Wrather arch has the longest span outside of Utah. We didn't see a single another person during the three day hike there.

Here is a rarely seen Arch for #MarchArches. It is called Zane Grey Arch in the greater Escalante River drainage area. You can only get there by watercraft and then hiking. #packraft #packrafting #AppreciatePublicLands #MonumentsForAll #wildplaces

The blue sky appears on Bothe sides of a narrow sandstone bridge that stands diagonally in the frame from center right to upper left. On the upper right, a sandstone cliff. Below, a wall of orange sandstone with dark desert varnish. At bottom, a creek bed with green trees and several figures

A view of the sandstone bridge with its narrow gap from the cliff, rising from bottom center to upper right. Blue sky on either side of the bridge. Rubble and trees stand in shadow below

Today's #MarchArches is Morning Glory Natural Bridge in Grandstaff Canyon north of #Moab. Always a photographic challenge

A small bridge of light-colored sandstone spans a dry creek that lies in shadow. A figure in a green top sits on a rock at the right. And green trees in the creek bed fill the left

A small bridge of light-colored sandstone spans a dry creek. A woman sits on a rock at the right. In the foreground is a dryfall with a pool of water at the bottom. Past the natural bridge, green trees stand in the creekbed and red canyon walls rise beyond

This little guy is Maverick Natural Bridge, in between Phipps Arch and the #Escalante River (marked incorrectly on the USGS topo map)

Another unusual #arches photo angle. Visiting Corona Arch does not require any permit or reservation. Also less crowded since there is a hike involved.

A near horizontal slab of orange sandstone arcs across the frame. Below, an expanse of canyon lands showing the White Rim and the La Sal mountains in the far distance. The sky is mostly cloudy with patches of blue.

Good old Mesa Arch for today's #MarchArches in #CanyonlandsNationalPark
