Re: Sedona AZ-Red Rocks rise above townscape
I think I may know where the picture was taken, PHeymont, if that's the church in the rocks (forget the exact name) over on the very left of the picture. If so, had friends who lived in that development years ago, Bell Rock to the south if I remember correctly. I haven't been there for many years now. Memoreees.

I don't know the area well enough to confirm your guess, but later tonight I will post the whole picture of which this is only a small part.

Port Moresby...here's the original image from which the clip was cropped. Does it confirm your guess?

Re: Sedona AZ-Red Rocks rise above townscape
Well, that's a surprise! No, doesn't look familiar, appears to be in town rather than south of town as I was expecting. Looking at a map, it says Chapel of the Holy Cross, where I thought you were, unless it's changed utterly, which it could have of course. It's been a while.

Great photos! And who knew they could swim?? That would be pretty cool to see!

Re: Red Squirrels
Unfortunately this little fellow likes to nibble away at the wiring in houses. If he finds a way into basements he can cause untold damage. He will travel through the trees and hedges attacking nests. He loves to find a garden where people will leave nuts and seeds for the over wintering birds. Very clever chap. He will soon find a way in past the "Anti Squirrel" device straight to the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for a great piece on a great amphitheater! A really cool restaurant is very close ,The Fort, and I'd highly recommend it if you see Red Rocks again. In the 90's , President Clinton took the G-8 summit up to have dinner there. http://thefort.com/the-history-of-the-fort/

Re: Why You should visit Nevada's Valley of Fire
Some of those settings look familiar. Maybe a few old cowboy films were shot there. Las Vegas with its free beer is too hot for summer. Would not tackle those rocks on a sunny day ! Would love to treck through in the Autumn.

It has provided a setting for the following films and television shows: The Professionals with Burt Lancaster , Lee Marvin , and Claudia Cardinale was filmed in 1966.

Re: Why You should visit Nevada's Valley of Fire
Thanks DrF. I can remember Lee Marvin as the angry young man - so it must have been a few years ago. The heat of summer in Vegas is just not nice. Must be what's meant by a "Seasoned Traveller" When we go at just the right time of year. Like the word "Posh" Port Out - Starboard Home To keep a cool cabin on a round trip to India on the sea.

We always think of lifeless deserts but when you get in there its amazing what you find. Some wonderful cactus pictures too. I enjoy getting close to those layers of rock. The colours and the shells. A million years of history. And no one saying "Don't touch"
