I have seen a lot of photos of this arch but this is one of the best.

Thanks a lot Alex!! Would love to see your 6x17.
Darren H.,
Great shot!!!!
I was there last fall, got up before sunrise, hiked in, set up (I had scouted my camera position the previous day), and waited. Five minutes before sunrise a German family of five set up their camp chairs directly in front of my camera. Asking nicely didn't do any good, I took German in college but it had a lot more to do with Fraulein Shultz in the front row than any desire to speak Tutonic languages. So, in deference to US/German relations I drove to the Colorado Overlook (grumbling the whole way). At the overlook I was totally alone, except for Ann and our great Pyrenees. Best shots of the trip!
Some days you just gotta make lemonade.

Tongariro track New Zealand - Red Crater with Mount Ngauruhoe (aka Mount Doom) in the background. You can't notice it that well in the web version but on the top right of the rim you can spot some people for a sense of scale.
Too bad Flickr sharpens the hell out of it - and definately need to look in profiling the scanner; Any suggestions for profiling software?

Thanks.
Your experience is not all that uncommon in national parks these days. I used to think setting up your camera 2 feet from the edge of the Grand Canyon was the safe thing to do. Now I realize that just invites someone to stand in front of you. Glad you were able to make lemonade and find a quiet place.
