This is the aptly named Devil's Bridge, which is a very impressive sandstone arch just outside Sedona in Arizona, USA.
Hiking up to the arch from the trailhead, my wife Liz and I met up with a charming young couple from New York, who were out for the day exploring as well as us.
They kindly let me photograph them sitting on top of the arch. Most of the time I will deliberately try and exclude people from my landscape photographs but on this occasion I really liked the feeling of adventure and relaxation that having a human presence brought to the image.
Plus, without our couple there's no way of judging the size of the arch and the surrounding scenery, which was impressive to say the least!
