About this piece

A stepped trail rises through desert scrub toward a broad natural arch, with isolated rock formations standing to the right. Strong sunlight reveals the fractured surfaces and casts narrow shadows beneath each step, while the black-and-white treatment contrasts the weight of stone with delicate clouds. The receding path gives this expansive landscape an intimate point of entry.

The story

September light falls across the uneven steps, marking the climb in alternating bands of brightness and shade. Low shrubs crowd the sandy margins, their fine branches echoing the cracks above. A distant walker appears small beside the great wall of rock. Through its opening, a fragment of sky offers a quiet counterweight to all that stone.
