Chameleon Arch

ALG-567. The author was very fortunate to found this attractive arch located behind Overlooked Arch. The arch is very well-hidden and you can miss it even if you walk close of them. The key of this hidden treasor is to find first Unsighted Arch. Why a treasor ? First it is a triple arch which ranks from bigger to smaller opening 6.4, 4.9 and 1.5 meters span. Second, the resemblance with the saurian is striking! Note the specific posture of the reptil, the two forelegs and his protuberant eye. A beautiful shot can be done near 4 PM like the photo below. GPS coordinate 24°35.654' 9°44.016'. One of the magnificient seven, a bunch of seven enjoyable natural arches close of each other.
