5.0 out of 5 stars A Sacred Conversation, August 16, 2006

This review is from: Secret Sedona: Sacred Moments in the Landscape (Arizona Highways Special Scenic Collections) (Paperback)

Can't say how much I have enjoyed Secret Sedona. Lindahl has found such a unique & original voice for his lyrical descriptions of Sedona's magical mystique, its myriad flora and fauna, and its ancient spirits. Equal parts science (weather, geography, geology, biology, botany) and art (his intimate, running conversation with the land, its animals & plants & spirits), this book is simply a joy to read over and over!!

As a fellow Sedonan and landscape photographer, I greatly appreciate Lindahl's stunning portfolio of images. I personally know how hard he's worked to get to these breathtakingly beautiful locations and his work constantly inspires me.

For anyone seeking a deep & meaningful look into the mysteries of Red Rock Country, this is the perfect place to start.

Larry Lindahl's combinations of awsome photography and colorful narative descriptions, reveals not only the spirit and personality of this incredible landscape, but of his own as well. It gives you a glimps into the soul of this artist and his incredible drive to explore, uncover and connect with the land. With great respect and a keen eye, he takes you visually into hidden places most people would never make an effort to see themselves, and shares
his observations and extensive knowledge of each secret place he encounters. A great addition to anyone's library or a great reason to start one.

This review is from: Secret Sedona: Sacred Moments in the Landscape (Arizona Highways Special Scenic Collections) (Paperback)

Larry Lindahl shares, in words and photographs, an intimate portrait of Sedona's landscape and history. Rich in sensory detail, this book reminds me over and over why I choose to live in Sedona. Larry's journal entries, essays, and photographs clearly convey that this is a place where the soul can be nourished by nature.
