Now i have been to Arizona

It is hot, dry, and incredibly lovely.

This is the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona. I have a major assignment to investigate the design and history of the chapel, after which i hope i will have a greater appreciation for it and not mental exhaustion. ;-) A few more photos to come, after i download them from my (new very exciting yay!) camera.
