Painted Desert AZ

 The Heise Curse is alive and well.

While making Sedona home base we did  a day trip to the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert.
On arriving in Flagstaff we encounterd fog , and the fog persisted all the way to and through the park. We stopped for gas and lunch. The fog started to lift , Back yo the park we go.

The best way to photograph the barn here is from a distance with a telephoto lens. Makes the mountains much larger. As we arrived we found many photographers getting up close and personal with the barn. This is what you get, not bad but the mountains are small.

Thank you photoshop for the cloning tool
