Thunder Mountain and Coffeepot Rock Intersect with the Beaver Moon
In the 20 years I have lived in Sedona, this is only the second time I have caught the moon setting in the cradle of Thunder Mountain and Coffeepot Rock. This happens only in the fall from my vantage point in the Cottages At Coffeepot, Sedona. Conditions need to be perfect.
The above photo was taken in late September 2011 with a Canon 5D Mark II full-frame camera on a tripod and a Sigma zoom lens.
"I always look up at the Moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos."

Trivia
Sedona was a second home for Walt Disney. He did not live far from Thunder Mountain.
The iconic ride "Thunder Mountain" was named for the Sedona mountain of the same name. This image may give those who have had the opportunity to ride the coaster in Disneyland an idea of how the ride was developed.
