also el: nice capture of a most fascinating place and i think it speaks to the theme of this challenge. that being said.... as to your caption, 19 of those 20 people take this same shot of the wave. didn't you read the fine print that said there were to be no more entries of the wave from this perspective?? kidding aside, it would be fun to have a challenge for photos taken of the surroundings of this place, other formations along the hike, but none from this now classic spot. we were fortunate (or unfortunate with 105 in the shade) to experience this in august some years ago. unforgettable experience. unforgettable view.
You are probably right but hey it's so amazingly beautiful !

ffnikclif: This is very fragile sandstone & is too beautiful to destroy. There is a reason for it to be hard to get permits to get to see thiscreation of nature. I have been there when college studends played on it like it was Disneyland. If you are ever lucky enough to see this please treat it with great respect. And leave your skate board at home. This area is teaming with what are referred to as finns. But in the wave almost all have been destroyed by careless people just not paying attention to where they step. And of course by people who simply must have a souvineer.
You are right!
