Sun to the Left - Moon to the Right!

I was offered a chance for a jeep ride at "Day in the West" in Sedona yesterday. We loaded up and took the old Schnebley Hill Road off into the hills, up on the Rim as sunset approached. What magnificent landscape set ablaze by the sun! Still, as magnificent as the setting Sun itself looked in the distance, it was the rising Moon that created the breathless moment for me. And what a vantage point...to have Sun on my left shoulder and Moon on my right with the amazing copper earth folding like beautiful fabric in between! Aaah!

  1. Schnebley Hill Road was one of the first drives Dick and I ever took in Sedona - we stayed at the King's Ransom and drove up Shnebley. Then later, I think it must have been damaged or washed out, because we couldn't drive up any more. I remember getting up there and sitting on a rock and just looking. It was glorious. You've captured it perfectly here, and brought back one of my fondest memories.
