Blue hour landscape in Arches National Park, Utah with glowing sandstone formations, a winding road, and a car light trail un

A Drive in the Park

A Drive in the Park is an Arches National Park, Utah print from one of the most iconic viewpoints in the park—especially for photographers. I knew I wanted to make an image here, but I also wanted to approach it differently than the usual versions. Instead of chasing golden light, I waited until the sun dropped and the scene shifted into blue hour, when the sky deepens and the sandstone starts to glow in a quieter way.
 

Just after sunset, a car moved through the frame unexpectedly, and the headlights traced a clean line through the landscape. That small human element changed everything. It added scale to the rock formations and briefly lit the road like a thread pulling you into the scene—one moment of motion inside a place that otherwise feels timeless.
 

If you’re looking for Arches National Park wall art or a Utah desert blue hour print, A Drive in the Park brings a calm, cinematic mood to a home or office—desert forms, twilight color, and a single streak of light that makes the whole view feel alive.

    Print Size

    • All prints come with a 1.5 inch white border. All sizes listed on the website are of the actual printed image. For example, a 10”x10” photo will be on a 13”x13” piece of paper, a 16”x24” photo will be printed on a 19”x27” paper. This will make framing easier and ensure that the photo will not be covered by the frame or matting. If you need help with sizing then click here to message me.

    Superimposing

    • If you cannot decide on which image to select you may send me a photo of your room/space and I’d be happy to digitally superimpose up to a few images on your wall. This way you can vizualize how it will look in your room next to your lava lamp.

    Paper and Print Quality

    • These are not just posters! I've tested many papers that show my work in the best way possible, using paper from manufactures that were founded in the 1500s – yes, well before the 1980s! These papers and inks are of archive quality and are designed to last a really, really long time. They're thick and show color and light contrast well. Avoid touching printed area or exposure to direct sunlight.

    Computer screen vs Paper

    • Please be aware that the appearance of prints may differ from what you see on your computer screen. This is because screens have varying color and contrast settings and emit light. Rest assured; your print will have even more detail than the screen shows. That’s why printing is so fun!

    Framing

    • The prints do not come with framing or built in mounting capabilities – yet. If you would like to frame your print, I recommend visiting your professional local framing shop where they will guide you on mounting and glass options.

    Lighting and Care

    • To ensure the longevity of your print, It’s recommended avoiding direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. Dont fold it, lick it, set it a fire, or wash it, like ever.

     

    I am determined to give you the best possible prints and make sure you are completely happy with them.
