This is my second visit to the "Mother of all Falls" - the mighty Niagara. Since I am visiting in the thick of winter in Canada there were only limited photo opportunities at the ground level - really it was way too cold & slippery. After a few near misses, I quickly learnt that it was no fun walking along the walkways by the Falls. The mist from the Falls quickly became thin slate of ice on the walkways making it really slippery to walk.
Then, we turned our eyes to the Skylon (the tallest man-made structure in Niagara) - sure you'll have to pay around CAD$10 per pax to get to the observatory (good chunk of change for Pearly and I) but because of the costs... there were not many people on the Skylon (plus there was no restriction against the use of tripods)! All in all, I think the money was well-spent to be able to observe the sunset set in Niagara & satisfy our trigger-happy fingers.
People visit Sedona, AZ to enjoy the beauty of its famed dawn and dusk scenes. It has also become a centre for many varied new age movements. However in the midst of all the new believes, one of the world's oldest faiths has carved out its own niche into Sedona's red rocks - the Chapel of the Holy Cross.
After checking into Poco Diablo, our hotel in Sedona, we made a beeline for the hotel concierge to put together a list of interesting places to visit. The first recommendation given by the concierge was "Chapel of the Holy Cross". "You should visit this chapel" said Gene, our enthusiastic concierge. "It's a famous site here in Sedona." ... the rest is history.
