Boulder Sunday

My boulder photo today for @shasta's #BoulderSunday challenge is an edited photo of some of the red rocks in Sedona, AZ.

I've been there a few times and am always amazed by the beauty, and shocked by how much the area has grown from when I first visited there and took these photos in the 80s.

Musician Greg Brown has a song called Boomtown that mentions Sedona and all the rich folks that have moved in there and built houses... "The natives have to move - they cannot pay the taxes.
Santa Fe has had it. Sedona has, too.
Maybe you'll be lucky - maybe your town will be the new boomtown"

I get homesick for AZ and it has never been my home! I do have great memories of times spent there, though.

Thanks, luv! I've been to a couple of Greg's live concerts (he is an Iowa boy) One of my favorite songs is Canned Goods where he sings about his grandma putting summer in a jar. I love that deep voice of his.

That looks oddly beautiful.
I am assuming that it's somewhere in the US of A

In the state of Arizona, which is in the American southwest. AZ is where the Grand Canyon is. 2000 miles away from Wisconsin, where I live.

It is huge. I have done a lot of traveling in my lifetime and still have not been to all the states or seen all the things I would like to see!

Definitely cowboy movie country! Even when they weren't actually filmed in the southwest the backdops were made to look as if they were!

Nice boulders Melinda! In my region (Aragón) there are lots of boulder, that are climbed by specialists.
I'm going to search some pics in my phototeca and I'll try ti participate in @shasta's contest!

I've been in Catalonia, but never Aragon and I would love to see your rock photos! I know @shasta would love to see them, too.

There are lots of great rock formations in and around Sedona.

Cathedral Rock
Airport Mesa
Coffee Pot Rock
Courthouse Butte
Steamboat Rock, plus canyons and trails.

I wish I had good photos of them all, but my visits were before Steem and I wasn't into taking photos, as no one ever cared to look through my travel photos anyway! 😁

Interesting way of showing these photos. Are they actually posted as one photo?

What means the "boulder photo"?

Happy day 💕

Howdy Melinda! I remember the area as a kid when we traveled that way every winter but I don't like the fact that it is all changing now, probably with huge condo developments and big homes.

The rocks are still the same, at least, but that's about all!

That's amazing because I didn't think a dessert area like that would be so appealing.
