Delicate Arch dwarfs the people that are standing under it.

Formed of sandstone, Delicate Arch is the most recognized landmark in Arches National Park. In this photograph, the red sandstone terrain is barren and inhospitable. People standing beneath the arch can barely be seen. There are also people standing along the ridge; the blue sky is a backdrop behind them.
