Postcard from Sedona

This is Thunder Mountain at sunrise, a spectacular piece of red rock that rises high above Sedona, AZ. You can see part of the city in the lower half of the photo. 

This was photographed in December, so it was well below freezing on the mountain top where I took this picture. But it was worth it. Capturing the early light of sunrise can be tricky…or it can be thrilling. It all depends on the light. And you never know how good or bad it will be until the sun peeks its head over the horizon.

The day before this photo was taken, the light was terrible and no photos were taken. But, being the persistent cuss that I am, I went back the next morning and got lucky. Such is the life of those persons who want to make exceptional photographs…you gotta work at it!
