Stone and Water

The Secret Slick Rock Trail in Sedona opens up onto a large Mesa with dips and curves etched into it through years of erosion. These troughs will collect and hold rainwater adding an unexpected element to what is essentially an enormous piece of rock.

Forrest Gump Point

If this shot looks familiar to you, it should. This is US Hwy 163 and it runs through Utah on its way to Monument Valley. The road and view look familiar because this is the spot where Forrest Gump decided he had had enough of running and headed home to his beloved Alabama. I was racing the clock and had already missed the sunset when I arrived here and wasn’t even sure if any of the (rather rushed) photos would be salvageable. I had just enough light and color left in the sky to fire off a few frames while dodging traffic (for being out in the middle of nowhere, at dusk, the road was surprisingly busy) and other photographers.

Hollywood Nights

Sitting on approximately 3000 acres of donated land overlooking downtown Los Angeles, the Griffith Park Observatory first opened in 1935 and sees 1.6 million visitors every year. The observatory contains numerous exhibits and more than 7 million people have viewed the universe through it’s 12 inch Zeiss refractor telescope, more than any other telescope in the world. Given its Hollywood Hills setting it’s no surprise that the observatory has featured prominently in numerous tv and movie productions including multiple Terminator movies, San Andreas and La La Land.

The Seven Sacred Pools

Located along the Soldiers Pass trail in Sedona, the Seven Sacred Pools are fed by a seasonal stream consisting of rain and winter run off. The pools sit along a transition zone between the Oak Creek Mountains and surrounding desert and thus provide a water source for numerous varieties of local wildlife.

Horseshoe Bend

Carved in part by the Colorado River, Horseshoe Bend sits 4 miles outside of Page Arizona. The stone walls tower 1000 feet above the water below offering a distinct view of the river that has become increasingly popular over the past 10 years. A short walk from the parking lot brings you to a railing roughly centered in the bend and stretching about 20 feet, but past that you can wander right up to the edge of the drop on either side. Although we arrived with plenty of late afternoon sunlight left, Taylor and I had no problem spending the time exploring the area until well after the sun had gone down.

Papago View

I actually shot this panorama a couple of weeks ago when I posted the photo of the palm trees reflected on the water, but there was one section of the panorama that was significantly out of focus………….so I went back. The photo was taken at the top of a small hill that hosts a pyramid in which the remains of the first governor of Arizona, his wife, and their families are interred.

The Cathedral of St. Paul

I found myself with some free time on the Sunday afternoon after homecoming at Luther so I decided to wander around the city of St. Paul Minnesota before I had to head to the airport. I lived in St. Paul from January to June of 2000 so I was familiar with the city and its landmarks. When I arrived in St. Paul I found driving access to the city was limited due to the running of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. I parked the car and headed out on foot to see the one landmark I knew I wanted to get pictures of, that being the Cathedral of St. Paul.

The Cathedral underwent three iterations before arriving at its current grand design and location on the corner of Summit and Selby Avenue. The cornerstone for the current building was placed on June 2, 1907, but with more construction to follow the building was finally consecrated in 1958.
