I had to go back for a "Sedona fix". Even with rain in the distance, the red rocks somehow soothe the soul. Thanks for taking a peek today and I appreciate you all. Anita

I really like how the light is hitting the rocks yet all around is rainy and subdued - wonderfully composed and a great feeling coming from a magical place!

Yes, the lighting in here is fantastic which is typical of AZ. It can be raining cats and dogs and yet sunshine peeking out somewhere. Beautiful capture.

Very good. Your capture of the storm clouds is just perfect, expecially with the sunlight near the top of the peak on the right.

This is such a wonderfully dramatic scene Anita. I like the contrast of the lightness in the foreground and the stormy sky, the coolness of the shadows and the warm colors of the rocks. It's a perfect composition to show off that dynamic sky. It's one of those "I wish I was there" shots!
