This Roman Catholic chapel is built into the buttes of Sedona, Arizona thanks to a local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. It was Frank Floyd Wright's son Lloyd however who constructed it . It too 18 months to build at a cost of 300 thousand US dollars. It was built in 1956. Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven man-made wonders of Arizona. Now a tourist destination, it receives over 2 million visitors a year.
This photograph was taken at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, though it really could be anywhere. On this particular day we purposely walked barefooted through the sand; it was a February morning so it was cold! Why would I do such a thing you might ask, because I try to do something different every day and by doing that I create a memory specific to that day. That said however it helps to photo document everything. There are many ways in which I could have cropped this photograph however it's important to remember the direction of flow; and in this case its flow approached me vertically. So, because the footprints approached ME (a mother) I just had to call this photo "Homeward Bound” ....where you’re always welcome.
I love abstract photography. I find joy in searching and noticing nature's little (or not so little) details; perhaps those that others would miss. One October day (while out ATVing with friends) we ventured up into the alpine and along the way we stopped at a vista to capture the valley views. Across the way a was a mountain slop that recently been logged, which made way for the young deciduous trees to flourish. The combination of the fall colours, the green of the coniferous trees and the white snow created this interesting pattern. Although this photo lacks a focal point, viewers are drawn to it out of curiosity. LOL, can you imagine this shot made in to a puzzle!
