...I took the shame photo of the serpentine walkway!<br /><br />I remember two things about this place.<br />1. There are no restrooms for all the tourists. A "port-a-potty" by the road is all they provide.<br /><br />2. Although the architecture is interesting, I think it looks more like a scar on that beautiful setting. That area's building codes would NEVER allow anything to infringe upon the natural setting like that today. <br /><br />Nice photos Stewart!Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-43031052517747442712014-03-19T03:29:19.078+11:002014-03-19T03:29:19.078+11:00Beautiful shots!

It's interesting to hear a non-USA resident's view of the church and coins. I never really thought about it that way.

We don't do guided tours of natural places any more because of these sorts of strange guides. Even in national parks. I almost came unglued at Mammoth Caves NP in Ky when the guide managed to bring his religion into the spiel. At least Sedona is private and people are entitled to whatever they wish to believe. But not on my tax dollars.
