What makes Geology for you a subject of human interest?
“Deliver the heart of the earth to humanity” (Llchi Lee, The Call of Sedona)
Ruth and I arrived on our road trip yesterday in Sedona, Arizona to once again appreciate the geological wonders of the town’s unique red rock canyons. But it’s obvious that these sedimentary marvels of geologic nature represent far more to both of us than their physical presence and underlying land processes they’ve revealed over eons of time.
I must elaborate further then why throngs of tourists visit Sedona each day to experience the reputed spiritual burst of vortex energy at prominent sites like “Bell Rock”, “Boynton Canyon” and the “Airport Road Mesa.” Know then that for many knowledgeable explorers of this landscape, Juniper trees, growing with twisted or spiraling branches throughout the town might provide more specific clues about where to locate these notable centers of spiritual boost. Yet I’ve learned on this vacation that the same feeling of self serenity can be sought more intuitively given sufficient time at less prominent rock formation sites surrounding the town.
As for me, I’ve yet to find any scientific proof concerning how or why these vortexes work to enhance my “inner chakras” during previous town visits. But as I’ve chosen on this three day vacation to remain silent on two casual walks around this iconic landscape, I do tend to feel better about myself as a person. Consider in the photo set below then how I might have been clearing my mind of distractions on such walks to find inner peace as a colorful stone, cracked crevice or spiritual shrine most meaningfully appeared.
For your next blog reading enjoyment, follow our road trip as we’ve opted to take the more indirect north from Sedona on Route 89 to the higher elevations of “Grand Canyon” country tomorrow.










The pictures are beautiful but seeing Sedona in person is breathtaking!

Wow, just look at all your wonderful photos from Sedona. As someone who’s lived in Ireland for more than two decades and seen nothing but 50 shades of green, I’ve been fascinated by the red rock landscapes with their iconic formations – it is a dream location for photographers. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day :) Aiva xx
