Another from Sedona this past weekend. This rock formation is called Cathedral Rock...I have another image of it in my gallery taken last year but from a different angle. The famous red rocks of Sedona are formed by a layer of rock known as the Schnebly Hill Formation. The Schnebly Hill Formation is a thick layer of red to orange-colored sandstone found only in the Sedona vicinity. The sandstone, a member of the Supai Group, was deposited during the Permian period. Sedona is named after Sedona Miller Schnebly (1877–1950), the wife of the city's first postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness.

I just love the scenery in and around Sedona KT. Cathedral Rock is one of my favorites. It is so recognizable for many old westerns. Great angle on this one.

Kate - A wonderful scene - a very nice use of the water to give perspective to the scene. Who's that wading in the water? Thad
