Where was the photograph taken? I imagine in Arizona, but where?

This is the view from our perch in the Verde Valley, Cottonwood, Arizona looking east toward the Sedona Red rocks.

What a wonderful picture. I just love fog and low cloud on mountains like that.

Me, too. It transforms the scenery as though one is looking at a lake instead of a desert. The 5 balloon riders were a bonus.

The best part of living temporarily up on a plateau. The views and how nature plays with it never gets old.

If anyone needs their wanderlust awoken, this (yes, dreamy!) photo will do the trick: it awakens not only the senses, but the imagination, and floods one with desire to explore a la “there and back again”! Thank you for this awakening!

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. I found it hard to believe I was on earth and very blessed my senses witnessed the morning.

I can remember my visits to my daughter in Napa Valley and heading back to San Francisco in the early morning with hundreds of those colorful balloons up in the air and wishing I had the time to join them up there.

,What a fond memory. I have never been up, but there has never been a time I wish that I had. Gosh, did that make any sense?

Cool shot. I wonder about the sensation in a balloon. I’ve been in planes since I was 6 months old. I have jumped off planes with a parachute, but I’m not sure I would like the balloon sensation. Who knows?

I wonder if it smells of fumes. I know it is very cold. Good for you for jumping out of a plane. Too chicken for me.
