This is another version of a series taken outside a famous chapel in Arizona, just outside of Sedona.

This version in colour transforms the scene to remind us of blue Arizona skies and the distinctive red earth of the region.

An insupperable problem - if you care to see it that way - is perfectly matching the changes in tone of the sky as you rotate away from or towards the sun.

Your panoramic images on an iphone automatically relate those transitions magnificently. I love the photos those phones can get in such a

seamless fashion. With a series of photos from a regular camera taking single pictures, not so much. I guess if we had a means to measure

the colour precisely across a seemingly blue sky the differences would be infinite, with a particular blue for each point stretching from horizon to

horizon. In the format employed here it doesn't matter whether they are matching blues. It's all illusory, remember.

As the viewpoint shifts closer to the sun towards the right the darkening tones muddy detail and colour, making the image a little deader in my

opinion. In this instance I have done little to fix that. Interpret it as part of the record of the day and the moment. These images were taken around

midday in April and as most of us know the colours vary in hue and intenstity according the angle of the sun's rays and the weather.

On the plus side, this is more what we expect from a technicolor western.

The left hand figure of the girl with her back to us, though she was an accidental element, I now see as a happy circumstance, rather like that

Caspar David Friedrich painting of a man looking out from a mountaintop, representative of the spectator of the

painting but forever removed from us because his back is towards us and so forever detached. If you don't know it I'll include this link to wiki:

Wanderer above the sea of fog by Caspar David Friedrich

Just a thought.
