Beautiful sketches @mrsomebody. I find the arches really interesting, for them to be formed naturally that way. What do the symbols next to the drawings signify? What medium do you use for your sketches?

Thank you @marblely. I agree I think the arches are fantastic. And the way they catch the sun and cast their shadows. Like giant sculptures. I don't know what the symbols mean. They were drawn from pottery pieces and rock carvings I saw in a museum. I drew these wither with pencil, pen and ink, and the small color ones with watercolors. I have a small portable watercolor set for that. Thanks for your comments.
You are right, they are like giant sculptures. And for some, its a wonder how they manage to balance the way they do, like your first photo, the Delicate arch. It does look top heavy. But I suppose they can because they were naturally formed by the natural process of erosion of the weather.
Ooo... ancient symbols probably. Really nice. Do you always carry a drawing and painting kit around in your bag and draw whenever you see something you like?
@marblely Yes I always bring a book to read and my sketchbook on travels. Having my sketchbook causes me to look more carefully at everything, wanting to find something to capture in a new drawing. Even around home I sometimes bring it and try to see some new perspective that might make an interesting sketch. The arches continue to weather as they age. Some years ago a car-sized piece of rock fell off of Landscape Arch in Arches National Park.
Ah, it is nice to be able to draw just about anything and everything that captures your attention :) Oh dear, I hope nobody got hurt? A car-sized piece of rock is huge.
