_MG_90992 Stepstone Crossing -3rd Place Keep Sedona Beautiful Photo Contest

Sedona, AZ

While this is probably the most photographed spot in the world, each year Oak Creek changes. This year large stepping stones have been placed so that the daring can tip toe across to the other side. I forgot my needed hiking poles and did not try it, but several made it across easily (with better balance than I). Nevertheless, these stones provided yet another different view. And from my home, about 90 minutes before I took this picture, I could see the weather pattern might afford some good sky. However, I thought that for the last two days as well, and the trip to this spot each day before yielded nothing.

The stepping stones do add an additional element which you used very well with the color, reflection and composition; really well done. Rodney

Absolutely beautiful, Fred. Outstanding tones and light. Looks like you definitely got an interesting sky on this trip to Oak Creek. Wish those stones had been there during my visit last year. :(
