At sunrise and sunset the rocks surrounding Sedona, Arizona, glow with shades of red and orange. Add a few clouds in the sky and you can get some dramatic landscape images. But even on a blue sky day, the contrast between the red and blue also makes for some stunning scenery.
Here are some of the more well known rock formations. Please click the images to view larger versions.
And my favourite…
(If you don’t see it, imagine Snoopy sleeping on the top of his dog house. That’s woodstock on the tip of his nose.)
Hah! I love Snoopy! Great images as always Anne, I also really enjoyed the vertical wide Bell Rock shot, great depth of field on that one.
I see that you’re now in my neck of the woods, so how are you liking our great state of Utah so far? Hopefully you’ve been able to find some fun things to shoot.

Hi Howard, I loved Utah! So much to see all in a relatively close distance. I really enjoyed the less popular places actually. Like Capitol Reef and Kodachrome Basin. Zion, Bryce and Arches were also amazing of course. Oh and Goblins, that was cool too. Images coming soon … Thanks for your comments.
Lovely colors in these, Anne

Thank you Eden. Everything was so very red there.
I’ve loved this series, Anne. I have to say we absolutely loved this area and I recall one or two very impressive Artist’s studios on the main road through the town.

Hi Andy, thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the series. Sedona was great, the only thing is all the people. I would like to go again when it is not high season. There were some really nice photographer’s galleries and painters too of course.
Wow…these are stunning Anne! I feel jealous of your travels…

Hi Sid, thank you! I am lucky to be able to travel like this, but it is really not as hard as it seems to just pack up everything and take off. I highly recommend it
I soooo envy you, Anne, and I so enjoy each and every one of your photos. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much Kathy, I am so glad you are enjoying my journey with me.
You really captured some beauties there in Sedona Anne.

Thank you very much Russ, there are beautiful rock formations everywhere in Sedona. You just have to wait for the right light and you are pretty much guaranteed a good shot.
Fantastic set of images Anne! Great tones and wonderful detail! Love the Snoopy rocks!

Hi Jim, I love the Snoopy too
There is supposedly a Lucy too, but I couldn’t find her. Thank you very much for your comments.
Gorgeous images Anne! I definitely have this on my list of places to go. Great work as always!

Thank you so much Patricia. It was my first visit after hearing much about Sedona from my sister who goes there almost every year. It is so pretty.
