Towers Over Chicken Point
From this vantage near the terminus of the Little Horse Trail, the famous Red Rocks of Sedona tower over Chicken point and this broader valley in Coconino National Forest.
On a bright but cloudy day the contrasts of Sedona, the red rocks and the green Ponderosa Pines, the blue skies and billowy white clouds, create a picturesque scene. Why share the image in monochrome then? Because, even without the colors, the richness of the textures tells a story of its own, from the jagged, but rigidly horizontal lines on the carved towers of rock, to the millions of rough edges on the trees and plants, to the stretched thin cotton of the clouds above.
Sedona is a place that defies explanation, it is a cacophony of sensory pleasures that share space and time to evoke wondrous emotion in all those who encounter it first-hand.
