The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge....Martin Luther King Jr.

Took this picture at Arches National Park in Utah, spring of 2005, we visited Garden of the Gods-Pikes Peak and Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado and then went on to Cayonlands and Arches National parks in Utah. Theres just something about mountains that really call to ya. This pictures was taken to get the full effect of the desert like surroundings and the snow covered mountains in the distance, it was beautiful, there were little purple flowers scattered here and there on the ground that appeared to be growing right out of the rock we got off one of the trails to check out a cluster of flowers, rounded the rock formation to the left of this picture and this was what awaited us, almost like a little corridor, heading to some majestic place far away.
