This is a shot of the Confluence, the place where the Little Colorado River merges with the Colorado River and coincidently where Marble Canyon ends and the Grand Canyon begins. The Colorado River is flowing from left to right and the Little Colorado is flowing from top to bottom. The Little Colorado was running a beautiful turquoise color which is as a result of the…

By Ted Grussing … cutting and stuff in the morning and after a nice lunch at the Sedona Golf Resort it was down to the ponds for a walk and see what I could get with the camera. They were removing sludge from the bottom of several ponds and so most of the ducks were on a few of the ponds that were relatively undisturbed and pretty much just basking in the warm afternoon sun. Got a few shots of some incomings and of those I liked this one the best … the small claws on the webbed feet were…

Information and Perspective by Warren Woodward(December 9, 2014) I was very suspicious of the “smart” meter microwave radiation measurements that were in the “smart” meter study recently completed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). So for $135 new, I bought the exact same type of measuring device that was used in the study and compared it with other, more costly and accurate measuring devices. As you’ll see in my video, the Tenmars TM-195 used in the ADHS study is grossly inaccurate. Like the study itself, it’s so bad it’s scandalous.
By Ted Grussing … I did more than just take photos of Derek at the Grand Canyon taking photos and took a few of my own. It was a fabulous day with low clouds wreathing themselves around prominent rocks and formations in the canyon and holes in the cloud cover provided some beautiful highlighting of the rock faces too. This is a view looking upstream and you can see portions of the Colorado River left center in the image. I wasn’t paying much attention to what lookouts we were at as Derek was doing the driving … somewhere up there…
By Ted Grussing … of clouds … such were conditions up on the plateau today. After church I headed up to the airport without a clue as to where I was going to go or what I was going to shoot. As soon as I had visibility looking north over the plateau there was no question as to where I was headed. The San Francisco Peaks had a good covering of snow and in twenty minutes I was up there at 14,000’ and got many cool shots of the peaks. Much of the plateau was covered with haze domes and…

By Marianna Hartsong, Sedona Resident(December 6, 2014) Ladies and gentlemen; There is really only one question to address at your meeting: when to start the removal of Smart Meters in Arizona. Attached is a well-documented article on how my health, that of my bees, and my hens and my plants has been affected since the deployment of Smart Meters in Sedona in April of 2014. It has much research and back-up info at the end that should also be required reading for you and your colleagues. Until I was struck down, I knew nothing about the dangers of Smart Meters.…
By Warren Woodward, Sedona Resident(December 5, 2014) Manager, Mayor & Council Members, Whose idea was it for Ginger Graham to send out a press release uncritically repeating the ADHS propaganda? I am amazed. First it was Nick Gioello sending out the CCST propaganda 2 years ago when “smart” meters arrived on Council’s radar screen, and now this. At least Gioello’s nonsense only went out to a small number.

By Ted Grussing In the spirit of Sean Penn and Ben Stiller in the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, I would like to offer you an image for the cover of another great magazine … it captures the “quintessence” of the magazine, one of your contributing photographers in the field at the edge of a cliff at the Grand Canyon today capturing more images for your subscribers and readers. Please consider it, and if not this, perhaps the image that Derek shot about two hours later which is also attached … the back cover to go with this…
