By Dena Greenwood(November 7, 2014) I (Dena Greenwood) just spoke with Charles Mosley, Sewage Treatment Plant Manager, regarding a fence he is proposing to build around the perimeter of the six evaporation ponds at the Sedona Wetlands Preserve.

By Ted Grussing There are few things as beautiful as a sunset with massive air pollution in front of the setting sun; too much and it obscures the beauty, too little and, well, it is a wash out. The problem of course is that the beauty is also toxic to human and animal health. Keeping that in mind enjoy this fantastic sunset that I shot while airborne utilizing the incredible amount of smoke from a prescribed burn as my filter shooting into the sun. The smoke went all the way to the ground and I guess if there is a…
