… there were many days when I would get out to the airport early, takeoff and head up to the plateau to get my aerial shots and then head back to Sedona, land and head back up there to get shots of the same areas, but from the ground. The photos tonight are from one of those days in early October. The aspens were in near peak color and the clouds were absolutely amazing … a little cloudier in the morning, but lifted and more blue sky in the afternoon. The shot above was taken from the southwest of the…

Starting next week, the city of Sedona will begin construction of a new, 10-foot wide, shared-use pathway that will run along the north side of Chapel Road, from State Route 179 to Fox Road.

The Starlink Kit…
