… over the last 20+ years I have spent hundreds of hours in the air photographing the landscape of Sedona and northern Arizona from the air and especially the last fifteen or so years my motorglider served as an aerial tripod as I experimented with shooting the terrain from various altitudes, angles, times of day and varying weather conditions … now I have a portfolio with tens of thousands of these images and periodically I go through them.

The shot above is looking up Long Canyon on a wintry January day … Seven Canyons resort is just below center in the canyon on on the skyline, Kendrick Peak is on the left, San Francisco Peaks center and just to the right of it is Mt. Elden … it was a beautiful day to be in the air.

Below are a couple of Widgeons taking off from a pond and their reflections moving out with them. Life is happening all around us and all the time … find some time to immerse yourself in the real world.

Check out the September issue of Arizona Highways … I finally got a centerfold … two full page centerfold aerial shot of Steamboat Rock in the foreground and Wilson Mountain in the background. Article in the November issue of Sedona Monthly will detail the joy and service that the Humane Society of Sedona brings to all of us who live in the area. Nimbus, Q, One and Katie will all participate in this joyful tribute.

Cheers,

Ted

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
