This is Mobius Arch from the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California. Bob took this photo after sunset and Lone Pine Peak is the highest peak visible through the opening of the arch. Bob hiked along the Arch Loop Trail to visit the arch, but didn't get to finish the loop since the sun was setting. This was during a trip during the week of Thanksgiving 2020. He'll just have to go back.
We've known about and seen photos of this arch for a long time, but for Bob to see it in the lithos, so to speak, was quite stunning. We haven't found any specific details about its dimensions, but a couple of web sites indicated that the opening is about 6 and a half feet tall and spans 7 feet. We'll have to double check that next time we're there.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
