Picturesque Northern Arizona! With TRAIN!

[Zomby Woof]

Nini took this awesome shot from I-40 westbound, after our jaunt to Meteor Crater on Sunday! Not bad from a moving car!

She couldn't have planned the timing of the train any better! :D

1. beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[enigmatic]

2. The Meter Crater is awesome, isn't it?

In alot of ways, it's more spectacular then the Grand Canyon, IMO. I love Northern Arizona; I lived in Phoenix for most of the 90's and tried to get up there whenever I could..

3. Damn, you're good!

[Zomby Woof]

6. Was That Near Flagstaff??

It looks like the Flagstaff area. The Princess and I love the Sedona area.

7. It has to be.

There's snow in the picture, and that only happens in Northern AZ ;)

[Zomby Woof]

10. Yes, this was 5-10 miles east of Flagstaff

:-) It is a beautiful region.

18. Another Sedona fan here.

My wife and i have made 4 trips there. Did ya hike to the top of Bell Rock. On our way to Payson,( where my brother lives ) we went through a couple of towns, Pine and Strawberry, they are to the south, south east of Sedona, you need to check them out.

By the way
You were right, a little time off from posting works wonders, missed you guys.

20. Glad You're Back

The Princess and I aren't hikers, due to the fact that we both have back injuries from car accidents. But we've been to Sedona three times now. It's a shame that too many people go there who don't appreciate the fact that the area is sacred to Native Americans.

One time, we were at a spot on the road to the airport where there are two hills. There was a group of idiots on the top of one hill, yelling to their friends at the top of the other hill. Meanwhile, The Princess and I were in the valley between the hills, near where two medicine wheels had been constructed. We were sitting on a log, and had just lit some sage. Just then, a Native American man walked by. I looked at him and he smiled and nodded his head, as if to thank me for respecting their holy place.

22. The entire place has been so over commercialized it's sicking.

(just lit some sage.)
I've smelled more than just sage burning many times. We took a hike up Boyton Canyon came across some kids stacking rock and smoking dope. They were quite and harmless, i just walked on by.

24. I Knew Sedona Was Doomed....

...during my first visit in 1993. I saw a sign that read "COMING SOON - SEDONA OUTLET MALL".

8. All i see is a red X

And i right-clicked and still can't see the photo.

[Zomby Woof]

11. weird

This has happened to someone else before (they couldn't see a pic of mine), and they asked in AtA, and that didn't get to the bottom of it either. It still shows up for me, so I don't know what to suggest. :-(

[Richardo]

12. It didn't show up the first time, but it does now...

great shot! :thumbsup:

[RagingInMiami]

15. I see it now

Nice photo.
I would suggest cropping the bottom of it to make it even better, starting about a centimeter beneath the first tree on the right.
Just my two cents as a member of the DU photography group.

[RagingInMiami]

17. With a little cropping and a touch of motion blur

Nobody will even know it was shot from a moving car.

[fishwax]

13. Great picture!

[underpants]

PS--bring your digital camera please, Nini...we don't have one, and I want to email my Republican boss a photo of DUers at the Grand Canyon while I am wearing my "Sweet Jesus, I hate Bill O'Reilly T-shirt." He really needs to have his suspicions confirmed!!!

[nini]

anything I can do to help irritate a repuke will be worth it.
