Summary edit

Description
English: (1 in a multiple picture set)
This is the first of two windows (North and South Windows) in this formation. I would have called it an arch, but the geologists call it a window. What is the difference? Here is one quote: "If we were to distinguish between arches and windows, we might say that arches occur at or near the base of a rock wall, as do the doors of a house or building, whereas windows are found well above ground level." Well, I'm still confused, so I'll let you read one of the articles at: http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/geology/publications/bul/1393/sec8.htm
