Reminds me of the natural bridge in Aruba...was created by water constantly hitting the rock formation and creating this type of feature. I like the shadow play as well. Good work.

Hi Jeff,

 

the natural bridge of Aruba was of different origin and unfortunately collapsed on September 2, 2005. Aruba is among the most southern of the Lesser Antilles islands. It's a mere 15 miles (24 km) from the coast of Venezuela. The Aruba bridge was a formation of coral limestone cut out by years of pounding surf, and was one of the largest of these types of spans in the world. It standed some 23 feet (7 meters) above sea level and spans more than 100 feet (30 meters).

 

 

The rock bridge Kharaz is in the "sea" of sand in a desert and its span is also 30 meters. You can reach it in Jordan by taxi (40 minutes) and jeep (1 hour) in less than two hours from Aquaba, Jordan.
