Thank you so much! There is a road that goes up through some residential neighborhoods to get to the church. The landscaping is so lovely there and I believe the city has some strict building codes to keep the semblance of natural footprints - they do a good job.

Finally! Some good shots of the Sedona area! Not wild about the town as such, but the setting is killer. Thanks for killing it, Fawn.

You humble me Jim - your thoughts mean a lot to me - thank you!

I wasn't satisfied with these pics because I didn't feel I had captured the real beauty of the place - but that is usually the case with such a vast landscape (I only had my 18-55mm with me - the pano is really a cropped long distant shot lol)

I cannot imagine why someone would say skip it ?!! It was the highlight of our trip (although we generally stayed only off and on the I40 corridor.) The 89 goes down to Phoenix right? One of these days.....

Thank you. She has a boyfriend of 3 years that lives out there and finally her job transferred her there. She is living in Santa Clarita right now until she finds something closer.

I tried taking pics of the inside - it was quite beautiful - but the lighting and the large natural light window at that time of day was competing for attention. I did not get good pics ;)

Nice set! Thanks for the tidbit on the agave plant. That one building set into the rock is great architecture - not distracting from the scenery but adding to it.

Yes, the Chapel of the Holy Cross, it is quite beautiful!

My daughter was moving to CA and I didn't want her to drive out by herself so we planned a week long trip from Nashville to Pasadena. We tried to hit as many spots as we could while still having some personal bonding time but I was able to still get a little photography in.

Even though Sedona wasn't our first stop, it was my favorite - what an absolutely gorgeous place - I will plan to stay more than one night here again (and bring my tripod) :D

Hope you enjoy!

One more ironic pic lol

Interesting tidbit from a local - this particular Agave plant can live up to 35 years and when it flowers, it is in it's last stage of life within days! They say you can literally watch, with time lapse, an agave plant stalk grow & flower overnight!
