About this postcard

A natural rock arch spans a dark pool of water, with a wooded slope at the left and a pale, striated cliff face rising behind. The card names it as Pennsylvania's Arch Spring Natural Bridge in Blair County. Arch Spring, in Sinking Valley near Tyrone, is a limestone formation where a stream emerges from a cave beneath a natural rock bridge, one of several karst features in central Pennsylvania.
