An introduction to Sedona





Hey y'all!


I think it's somewhat peculiar to hear people say "y'all"...first culprit my friend Kelly from Missouri. She is GRAND and I am really grateful for her support over the past few weeks - what with all the studying and working and the exams! I now work 20 hours a week and taking 15 credits. And seeing Dave most weekends.

On Thursday Dave and I will be scooting off to Sedona. Bronwen knows all about it so you can ask her what it's like. Dave and I will be spending the weekend up there. Things are getting quite serious between us and I feel that we are moving to another phase in our relationship. We have been talking about me relocating there at some point in the next few months. So - if you want to visit Sedona you better rush!

So back onto the Sedona subject...here are a couple of pictures I took when I was up there with Bronwen and Riccardo. The place has the same intense colours of Almodovar's "tie me up! tie me down!". Ed Mell and Max Ernst are just two of the many artists inspired by the place - truly captivating and sacred to the American indigenous population. When you get there the strong red of the rocks almost abacinates your eyes. Iron permeates the soil and gives it a strong red hue...the heat then almost conjures up images of soil melting into a stream of hot red blood. The place is famous for it vortexes...if you want to know what one of those is then go to the link in the title of this blog.

I shall give you a report on how vortexes feel once I have been through one of those next weekend.
