PhotoHunt 143: Hope

When I saw what the category was for this week, this is the photo that I thought of. The light is the sun, not a star — though the sun is a star — and the bird is a seagull, not a dove. Nonetheless, the image just fits the topic, at least for me.
This is my first Photo Hunt post in several months.

Delicate Arch Trail, Arches National Park, September 23, 2008
Starting Point: Wolfe Ranch parking area
Length: 3 miles (4.8 km) round trip
Time: 2 to 3 hours
Elevation change: 480 feet (146 meters)
Take at least 1 quart (1 liter) of water per person! There is no shade. Open slickrock with some exposure to heights. The first half-mile is a wide, well-defined trail. Upon reaching the slickrock, follow the rock cairns. The trail climbs gradually and levels out toward the top of this rock face. Just before you get to Delicate Arch, the trail goes along a rock ledge for about 200 yards.
