Hello my friends, this is a iconic mountain in beautiful Sedona, Red Rock country. I took this picture from the Chapel of the Rock that faces this mountain, sorry but I forgot the name but I think this is Chimney Rock.


Sedona's main attraction is its stunning array of red sandstone formations, the Red Rocks of Sedona. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The Red Rocks form a breathtaking backdrop for everything from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails. Among the rock formations is one that closely resembles the character Snoopy (from the popular Peanuts comic strip) lying on top of his doghouse. Another nearby rock is said to resemble Lucy, also from Peanuts. Other landmark rock formations include Coffeepot Rock, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Chimney Rock, Courthouse Butte, the Mittens, the Cow Pies, and the Rabbit Ears.

Hi Everton,

Of course I knew this was Sedona immediately without clicking. I can't help you with the name of this rock because I never ever could see what they said I should be seeing. You captured the Sedona Red perfectly and with good details of the rocks. A nice October sky to go with it.

Hi Everton

Lovely view of the red-rock area around Sedona - I have only visited Sedona once. Nice composition plus good colour saturation.

Hello Everton,

This is like a chiselled sculpture on a massive scale! It must be a truly awe inspiring experience to view these for real!
I like how the light reveals the niches and contours of the rocks.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Everton,
A good place for base jumpers and rock climbers. I prefer your view though...:-)

Excellent image Everton,
I have been to the exact spot a few times myself. Whenever we visit our daughter and son-in-law in Phoenix, we seem to end up in Sedona at least once during the trip.
Sedona is a very beautiful area and one has to actually see it to appreciate all it's grandeur.
You have captured it wonderfully in this photo. Great notes! Well done!!

Hello Everton,
I like this, beautiful colours and good light and shadow. A very tranquil looking sky. Also close enough to see the details in that amazing rock formation. I'd like to see a wider angle view as well, just to take in some more of that beautiful landscape.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Everton, great landscape with splendid colors, superb composition, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio
