Sheri,

I love the drama of Sedona's landscape and the beauty of it.  What a lovely shot.  A

Hi A, No matter what kind of sky you have the pictures usually come out well. The sky is usually a deeper blue because there are no particles in the air.

Your area is similar in some ways to ours with the red and white rock bluffs Sheri. What a romantic setting for your son and his wife!

We get the commercials from Utah Tourism and I thought they were from our area at first!

That's an amazing landscape, Sheri!  And, the sky is so blue against those red rocks!

Hi Myrl, we don't have any polution so the sky is a deeper color.  Sometimes it is lighter when we have wind and dust blowing.

Hi Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint - one of the things that attracted me to this area was the clear air with a hint of pine!

It was made famous when the Mayan calendar ended. There are you-tube videos out there.  People thought that a  local resident that my son knows was going to jump off of it into a port hole.  Total miscommunication by the press and TV stations!!!!

Good morning Sheri.  While I like to walk and count it as my daily exercise, to walk up that rock on a daily basis is way beyond me.

Hi James Dray  - This one you need a guide to climb to the top. But there are many trails that we can navigate easily.  You would love it! Gentle elevation rise that will take your breath away with the views.  My favorite is Devil's Bridge. ALSO - you can just walk around the base of Bell Rock without climbing it! A very easy walk.Devils Bridge

Hi Patricia Kennedy - Thank You! When it rains or snows the red rocks deepen in color and with snow the contrast with the pines is amazing to see.

Hi Sheri

Sedona certainly has some stunning landscape. I think Bell Rock may be one of my favorite "rocks" in town. It can easily be seen from the front yard and family room of my aunt's house. Always impressive.
