Sedona Arizona Pictures
Sedona Arizona pictures show many of the Red Rock
monoliths around Sedona, as well as scenes of Oak Creek as it flows through
our landscape..
Sedona is well known as one of the most beautiful places in the world. USA
Weekend Magazine recently named Sedona as the most beautiful place in the
USA.
Sedona Arizona pictures come in primarily two colorful mediums...
photographs and paintings. Sedona photos are
gorgeous. Many accomplished professional photographers come here to capture the
Red Rock scenery in its many moods.
They
photograph scenes at sunrise, at sunset, by moonlight, and in the four seasons.
The rest of us can get some spectacular shots as well. This
Sedona
Arizona pictures link takes you to the website of John Miranda. His
site features many great photos of Sedona... and more.
This Sedona
Arizona pictures link takes you to the website of the Coconino National
Forest, and more beautiful photos of the area.
Sedona Arizona pictures often feature rock formations with
fanciful names inspired by their shape, such as Coffee Pot Dome (photo
just above) and Cathedral Rock (photo series below).
Sedona
paintings represent truly fine art. Many excellent artists live in the
community. They paint the world class local scenes, and sell their art through local
and national galleries.
The Sedona paintings links below are just
a few examples. A personal visit to local galleries will treat you to many more
fine paintings. http://www.sedonaartscenter.com/gallery.htm http://www.sedonapaintings.com/ Painters,
photographers, potters, sculptors, writers, musicians, dancers, singers, and
all manner of other artistic craftspeople live and work here. The grandeur
pulls them here.
The professional and talented amateur art community is thriving.
Sedona's natural setting is inspirational to residents and
visitors alike. It's difficult to visit and not take pictures home.
Cathedral Rock at the Red Rock Crossing (of lower Oak
Creek) is among the most photographed points in the USA. The diverse
foregrounds, the many perspectives, and the changing moods created by water
levels, lighting,
and weather allows photographers to capture many unique images. A few
examples are exhibited below 5the News block.
Sedona Arizona pictures only capture small slices of
the grand views of our Red Rock Country. Please come and experience it for
yourself.

USDA Forest Service launches expanded Fall Colors
2011 website
Hotline provides information for peak
viewing and trip planning
WASHINGTON, –Fall
Colors 2011 is underway with the U.S. Forest Service leading the charge to
urge people to get outdoors, spend time in rural communities, and enjoy one of
nature’s most spectacular seasons.
“Fall is a special time when nature’s work transforms our
landscapes into a natural patchwork of vibrant hues,” said Tom Tidwell, Chief
of the U.S. Forest Service. “Because the Forest Service is the national
source for tree expertise, we are ready to help Americans plan their trips and
appreciate the incredible show.”
For many rural communities, leaf peeping is a major source of
revenue. Hotels, restaurants and local shops rely on the influx of
dollars generated by the fall visitors.
From coast to coast, state and local economies are boosted
because of the fall season. For example, the New England area receives an
estimated $8 billion annually to local revenues. Throughout the Midwest,
millions of visitors hit the road to enjoy the sights. In the West, the
mountains provide destinations filled with tourists seeking a glimpse of
shimmering gold aspens. Weather conditions in all areas impact peak
viewing dates, so information provided on the Forest Service website will help
visitors best plan their trips.
The agency’s revamped Fall
Colors 2011 website includes clickable maps that link to forest-by-forest
fall color information and to state tourism and fall color websites. Fall
Colors 2011 also offers a variety of family activities such as coloring pages
for kids, instructions on how to make a leaf book and links to a tree database.
Photographs from visitors nationwide will be added to the site throughout the
season.
Following tradition, the Forest Service also turned on its Fall
Colors Hotline – 1-800-354-4595. The hotline provides audio
updates on the best places, dates and routes to take for peak viewing of fall
colors on national forests.
The mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to sustain the
health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to
meet the needs of present and future generations. Recreational activities on
our lands contribute $14.5 billion annually to the U.S. economy. The agency
manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and
private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in
the world.
