_{On the cover:
"Teardrop Arch" by Ahmad Abdalla, MD,
is a photograph of this beautiful arch tucked deep in Monument Valley, Utah, far from the eyes of the casual passerby. It required a long desert drive and a short hike for Dr Abdalla to arrive when the light was perfect for this mid-morning shot.}

_{Dr Abdalla has been a Head and Neck Surgeon with SCPMG since 1978. He is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and has been designated a "Master Photographer."}

More art by Dr Abdalla can be seen in the Soul of the Healer section.
