-----Sedona AZ, continued



Two views of Cathedral Rock in Red Rock Crossing Park, which is so famous here that it is featured on the cover of the Sedona Experience guide book. The people in the view to the right are Asians, who came by bus to meditate, as this is one of the "vortex" spots. Another part of their group was meditating by a very large tree. Sedona is a "New Age" retreat for healing, psychic wisdom and meditation.







-----Left: Front view of The Chapel of the Holy Cross, designed by Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a devout Catholic, and completed in 1957. Surrounding the chapel are the Mystic Hills, filled with ancient forms, animal faces such as Eagle Rock, and sacred imagery.
-----Right: Entrance view of the chapel. The interior is beautiful and restful, with the cross as a main focal point. There is only one room upstairs; the downstairs is a gift shop (natch).
