    Today’s Photo From Ted Grussing Photography: Between Black and Casner Mountains There is The Gap

    … SW of Sedona there is a place called The Gap and that is the space between Black Mountain on the south and Casner Mountain on the north. Through this gap you have a physical and visual entry into Sycamore Canyon. The gap is located about halfway up Sycamore Canyon and you are looking at some of the most beautiful formations in the canyon through the gap. Above and about 30 or so miles behind Sycamore Canyon is Bill Williams Mountain on the horizon. Bill Williams Mountain was the first volcanic eruption in what is now known as the San Francisco Volcanic Field … it arrived on the scene about 4 million years ago, and its elevation is 9259 feet. Black Mountain on the left foreground is 6045 feet and Casner on the right is 6740 feet and I was at 6370 feet when I took this photo.

    Below is a photo of a U.S. Coast Guard HC-144 aircraft taking off from Sedona Airport a few years ago. They had been several hundred miles north of here and due to adverse weather they diverted south and stopped at Sedona for a break before continuing their flight. This ship is used for ocean patrol and search and rescue operations. Wingspan 84′ – length 70′ – empty weight 21,600lbs, crew of six, cruise 272 mph, and manufactured by Airbus Military. A totally cool plane and a terrific crew on this plane.

    Into a new week and adventures are waiting … enjoy the day and share a smile with those you meet and greet!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Whatever else you do or forbear,
    impose upon yourself the task of happiness;
    and now and then abandon yourself
    to the joy of laughter.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
