They're (still) havin' a hot time
in the ampitheater of the gods.
I just happened to catch a headline about wildfires in Sedona, AZ, an area around which I lived eight years ago (and which served as the catalyst for my artistic and personal reawakening). The nmazca.com site was developed because of the landscape photo book by that name that I published in 2000.
Fortunately, the fires look more threatening in photos than they appear to be on the ground [perhaps I wrote too soon?*]. The wind is pushing the fire line to the northeast, behind and beyond the buttes seen in the first photo below from 1998:
GOTO nmazca.com/west/ for more photos of the western lands.
* "Firefighters early Wednesday battled a 1,770-acre wildfire that forced hundreds of people to evacuate and threatened a highway and homes at the bottom of Arizona's scenic Oak Creek Canyon.
"Only 5 percent contained, the blaze was within 200 yards of the highway in some stretches along the canyon bottom, authorities said. However, they said no structures were lost and most homes are on the opposite side of the two-lane highway."
