Red Rock Arch

About half way into the Great Wash I noticed an odd looking formation above me on the red rock wall. It looked to be a raised column, maybe even free standing. As we proceeded along the dry river bed I was watching this formation, the shadow it cast continued to reveal it's true configuration. As we passed it we could finally see that it is actually an arch. I really love to photograph arches and always seek them out. I had asked the ranger at the visitor center in Torrey, Utah if there were any arches in the Great Wash, he replied that there were none, what a surprise.

Striped Wall

As we were entering the Great Wash these black streaks, caused by water running down the walls, greeted us and made for an interesting photo.

Unknown Tool

This tool was hanging along with many others. It made a nice photo even if I don't know what it is.

Centrifugal Brake

This wonderful, old wagon wheel has on one of its spokes this device that appears to be a centrifugal brake. Could it be? Did they have such things then?

Tools of Yesteryear


These tools, along with many others, adorn the walls of the blacksmith shop located at the John Jarvie Museum near Dutch John, UT and Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Barrel of Fun

As I approached the steps into the Jarvie Store a barrel, the steps, and the wall behind made for a pleasing photo.

Barbed Wire Hoop



A coil of old barbed wire atop a weathered fence post becomes the subject of this photo. The rustic, weathered wood and rusted barbwire add to the antique look.
