EXIF Data: f/20, 1/10 sec, 27mm During an extended project I was assigned to in Phoenix a photo buddy of mine invited me to head up to Sedona on a day trip with him. I didn’t need a second invitation. It was my first real experience in Red Rock country. The only problem was that it was a day trip, but we made the best of it. Thanks Gene! - Cathedral Rock is a famous landmark on the Sedona, Arizona skyline, and is one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona, USA. Cathedral Rock is located in the Coconino National Forest in Yavapai County, about a mile (1.6 km) west of Arizona Route 179, and about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the “Y” intersection of Routes 179 and 89A in uptown Sedona. The summit elevation of Cathedral Rock is 4921 ft. (1500 m.). Red Rock Crossing is a scenic former ford across Oak Creek, with photogenic views of Cathedral Rock. The crossing was washed out in a flood in 1978, and there are no current plans to reopen it to automobile traffic. Past proposals to build a bridge at Red Rock Crossing met vociferous opposition. Most of the crossing is included in the Coconino National Forest’s Crescent Moon Ranch recreation area. -Wikipedia
EXIF Data: f/22, 1 sec, 18mm I was visiting a sister in Angwin, California. Looking to the west in the late afternoon one day I noticed that the conditions might be perfect for a sunset shot. She and I jumped in the car and found this vantage point on Deer Park Road looking down into the Valley. We didn’t arrive any early, because this light lasted just a few minutes. Good memories G! - Napa Valley is an American Viticultural Area located in Napa County, California, United States. Napa Valley is considered one of the top wine regions in the United States Records of commercial wine production in the region date back to the nineteenth century, but premium wine production dates back only to the 1960s.
