Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. In 1999, the Great Pinecone Drop became Flagstaff’s New Year’s Eve tradition, when the Weatherford Hotel rang in the new millennium and honored the Hotel’s 100-year anniversary. Since then, thousands have gathered in the streets for the countdown into the New Year and the lowering of the Pinecone followed by a brief fireworks display.
Gonna be off for awhile, going elk hunting :) Happy photography to all my Flickr friends! This picture made the cover of the Nov/Dec issue of AAA Highroads magazine Arizona edition published 24 Oct 2014.

Sedona, Arizona
Saguaro cactus south of Goodyear, Arizona under cloudy skies. Goodyear is in the Phoenix metro area just to the west.
We usually think of Sedona as "red rock country," which it is. But at dawn, sometimes nothing is red here except the sun.
A beautiful place the canyons are amazing This is out of my comfort zone ! but having a great time in Arizona.
