Evening at Cathedral Rock

The afternoon I spent at Red Rock Crossing was a fun trek along Oak Creek but when the shadows lengthened, I trotted back to where I could have a view of Cathedral Rock. It’s an iconic location and with the evening light moving into deep reds I was enthralled by her beautiful cliffs and spires.

After a couple minutes of splashing around, the red color disappeared quickly, leaving pink clouds above and darkening rock below. It did not take very long for the stars to start standing out against evening’s blanket. A beautiful evening in Sedona, Arizona.

I actually said “Wow!” out loud when I scrolled down to the first image. Beautiful trio, like the reflection of the reds on the rocks in the first, the presence of the stars in the latter two, and the selection of distances. Again, wow!
