Category: Greg’s photographs

I’ve been fortunate to have countless photographs published in aviation magazines, but have had relatively few appear in consumer publications. So it’s exciting to see two of my favorite “Views from the Flying Carpet” aerial photos featured in one- and two-page spreads in the new March Sedona Monthly print magazine.

Please check out my many available Views from the Flying Carpet aerial photographs, and Down to Earth terrestrial photographs. Pricing on ready-to-hang Fine Art Metal Prints starts at just $125, plus 2-day shipping throughout the Continental US for only $20-$29 depending on size.

Many thanks to all who have invested to date in my Fine Art Metal Prints, Pilot Achievement Plaques, and Photo Note Cards!

It was just to be a “routine” mission, dropping my wife to visit her mother for a few days. But “routine,” in the Flying Carpet or any other airplane, has little to do with the glories one might experience out the windshield.

Winter snow is not uncommon atop Arizona’s Coconino Plateau north of Sedona, but rarely does it sprinkle more than a dusting on the lower red-rock terrain for which the area is renowned.

On this particular flight, however, we were treated to stunning views of Snow-Sparkled Sedona, following an unusually cold and heavy winter snowstorm that blanketed far lower elevations than usual.

I’ve been flying this area for some 33 years, but only a handful of times have experienced such a visual feast of crimson buttes heavily blanketed by ivory-white snow. (Area pilots will appreciate Sedona Airport’s “Notice to Airmen” that morning, regarding three-foot snow berms adjacent to the runway!)

Many thanks for the amazing response to this particular photo, and to all who have invested to date in my Fine Art Metal Prints, Pilot Achievement Plaques, and Photo Note Cards.

PS: I also took the following photograph that day, which displays more landscape than the above with less emphasis on the airport runway. If anyone is interested in owning the following “Snow-Sparkled Sedona II” as a Fine Art Metal Print, message me and we’ll make it happen!
