Revisiting Sedona (More Photos from Last Sunday)

Sedona, AZ
Here are some more photos of Sedona from last Sunday. A number of these are photos of the same rock formations, but from different locations, and a few are of completely different areas of the same hiking trail. I love the photo above because not only does it capture my "Rhino Rock," but also a vast patch of parched red earth and rock. This photo is a nice experiment in perspective.

If I am correct, this is Cathedral Rock in the distance. There is actually a park in Sedona that offers a famous view of Cathedral Rock with a stream rippling past in the foreground. I love that view, the juxtaposition of desert aridity with refreshing cool water: the tension of opposites positioned together.

The photo above and the photo below were not taken along the hiking trail. Rather, they were both taken from the parking lot of a shopping center of art galleries located just off Sedona's main commercial strip. They just give you an idea of how the town of Sedona is plopped down right in the middle of beautiful, awe-inspiring red rock formations. Such close proximity to majesty. In Sedona, the mystical seems to be an intimate companion!

Here is the trail I hiked on Sunday.

Once again, the winding red earth trail!

Yes, another dead tree, the gray of its bark offset by the intense red of Sedona earth and rock!
