It was noon when we left and our destination would have done better with an earlier start...
Up on the hill overlooking the town by the airport here is Sedona.
These are mostly the same picture just looking around from side to side. Below is a panorama where the camera takes shots as you scan the horizon... Then adds the shots together....
I took this for perspective... Its really not that far out there, the town is right down the hill from the rocks...
Wandering the city streets you get right up to the base of coffee Pot Rock.
This is cathedral rock and the sun is trailing down over the hill behind me.. Its really yellow making the red rocks seem almost orange...
Same thing with the sun... Chapel of the Holy Cross. This is on the back side of the Cathedral Rock.
More of the spires along the wall with the Chapel....
We wandered back down to the interstate, but the sun was mostly gone as we got to Bell Rock... So I had to borrow a picture from a friend to put on here.....
You might know that friend too, because his name is Rick Doyle... His pictures were better than mine anyway... Much nicer day with good skies... Thanks Rick....!
It was really dark when we got back to the house.....

Sedona is so beautiful. Too bad it wasn't made a National Park before all the building went on.
ReplyDeleteOur friend, Dianna, was in Sedona on Saturday to see all the Christmas lights. She said they are really spectacular. She went on a bus tour so she didn't have to drive back in the dark. It is just so beautiful up there among the red rocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat tour of Sedona, Rod and fantastic photos too! Sedona is one of our all-time favourite spots to visit so your post brought back some great memories of our visit to that area. It's pretty nice to be able to drive up that way for just a day visit.
ReplyDeleteNo problem on using my photo - anytime, glad to be of help. We were lucky to get perfect weather during our 3 day visit to Sedona.
