I just came back from Sedona, and words hardly do it justice. Your photos are gorgeous, and are perhaps the best way to share the beauty of such a special place. Thanks for posting them.

We have a few similar shots. I spent and entire afternoon in the saddles of Cathedral Rock. I'm most impressed with your 'Sunshine' shot.
