Signs, Signs & Window Views: Sedona


.
.
Since my last post featured
Sedona's Chapel of The Holy
Cross, I thought that
for Lesley's Signs, Signs,
today, I would
continue with
photos of the various
notices posted
around the grounds.

Beavertail Cactus



After a warm, brisk
climb to the hilltop,
I could completely identify with
The Rocks!
 
 And for Mary t's Windows
 and Doors,  I also wanted to share shots of the home
 one sees when
 looking down into the valley below.

 Take note of the astronomical observatory. Can you imagine starting each day within sight of these brilliant red hills and ending it by gazing at the stars in that huge expanse of clear sky?
This might possibly be the closest we earthbound creatures get to
Heaven until Judgement Day, (and some of us aren't even sure of our chances then)!

  2. "Old and fragile" describes many of us these days! I laughed at the "DO NOT ENTER WHEN FLOODED" sign, but there are people who would do that (enter when flooded)!

    That is a private home??!!! Fantastic! Fabulous view of earth and heavens!

  8. WOW! What a beautiful post. That architecture of the astrological center is out of this world. Loved the signs, too. I feel every bit as old as those rocks are this afternoon. Have been pruning the trees in the yard. Thank heavens I am thought. Genie

  9. Wonderful signs. It's hard to believe that is a home - it looks like an institution of some sort.

  14. Breathtaking scenery.
    And the signs posted all around are interesting (and photogenic!)

  15. I have mixed emotions on this - it's important to preserve the environment, but too many signs will have the opposite reaction. I like the 'Do not enter when flooded', kinda sad that people need to be told to use common sense.

  17. I just read your comment (at my place) about my comment here. It made me remember that I also posted a pic of a heart shaped cactus in Sedona. Here is the link. It's about the 8th photo down.

  19. Beautiful pictures! The area will hopefully stay that way if people will obey all the signs!

  20. I appreciate these thoughtful signs in language that is caring instead of authoritarian. I have a friend living in Sedona and you remind me that I need to go visit her again. I really is a lovely spot on earth. That "home" is a modern-day chateau. Glad I don't have to clean it.

  22. Wow, what wonderful signs! I love it that they gently remind people to love and respect nature.

    And that observatory - wow. What an awesome place!
