Black top, red rocks

It’s fun when someone else is driving … otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to snap these shots.
The first two were shot on the approach to Sedona, Arizona, from the south.
The third was taken in ranch country east of Prescott Valley, after coming down the winding, hilly road from Jerome, Arizona, on the long route back to Phoenix.
Thanks to my sister for her excellent piloting on this beautiful Saturday back in November.

Urban-rural split

You might recall a post I made about visiting the Holmenkollen ski jump in Oslo. This is what it looks like from the “back” side of the tower, facing away from downtown Oslo and the harbour — a mix of suburbia and farmland.

Sognefjord by moonlight

I’m glad I decided to take a peek outside my window before bed: This was the view from my hotel room in Balestrand, Norway, a few weeks ago.

Sun over Sound

This very blue view of Puget Sound was taken from the elevated portion of Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle.
