Sedona Dreams - a photo on Flickriver

Sedona Dreams

Arizona

This is an iconic view of Sedona, near the city airport. While lots of people are there for sunset, not many stay for the real show, blue hour. The few minutes following sunset are usually fantastic for scenes with city lights, with the added bonus of fewer people getting in your way. It's also generally more challenging to shoot; all the more fun.

The city of Sedona itself is challenging, with heavy commercialism and traffic these days, all surrounded by stunning natural red rock formations. It's a shame it was never reserved as a national park prior to its founding in 1902. But even with all the tourism, it's still a wonderful place to visit, with so much to see and do. I recommend getting away from the madness with a quick drive to Crescent Moon Picnic Site, featuring fantastic views of Cathedral Rock along Oak Creek.
