Introducing “Oak Creek Canyon,” Greg Brown’s latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Aerial Fine Art Metal Print!

Hey Friends, check out Northern Arizona’s “Oak Creek Canyon”, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

Scenic Oak Creek Canyon stretches from legendary red-rock Sedona, Arizona some 12 miles and 2,300 vertical feet up the Coconino Plateau into the world’s largest Ponderosa Pine Forest surrounding Flagstaff.

I was treating two young friends to their first light airplane ride, when this striking perspective framed itself in my window. “Toss me my camera!” I shouted to my backseat passenger, and had time to snap just two quick shots… the only photographs I’d shoot this flight. Upon later posting on social media, this photograph generated among the most numerous and enthusiastic responses I’ve ever received.

To quote legendary photographer Rowland Scherman, “If you don’t have your camera with you when the flying saucer comes by, you won’t get the photograph.”

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Oak Creek Canyon,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

Many thanks to all who invest in my prints, books, and pilot achievement plaques!

Hey Friends, check out “Reflecting on Sunset,” my latest Down to Earth Fine Art Metal Print!

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, Reflecting on Sunset,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping up to the largest sizes. (Along with the standard format, I’m also offering a custom panoramic version.)

“Grand Canyon Confluence,” Greg Brown’s latest Fine Art Aerial Photo Metal Print!

Hey Friends, check out “Grand Canyon Confluence” of the Colorado & Little Colorado Rivers, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

The Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers converge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Their confluence is notable because the Little Colorado is muddier than the Colorado with different silt, so the water colors of the two rivers are strikingly different where they merge. And the sand bar at their confluence is a popular stop for rafters transiting the Canyon. Few people get to enjoy this aerial perspective of the feature, captured from my Flying Carpet.

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Grand Canyon Confluence,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

“Flying Saucer!” Greg Brown’s Flying Carpet Podcast #35

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.


Listen to “Flying Saucer!” Greg Brown’s Flying Carpet Podcast #35, here or on your favorite podcast directory.

There’s been lots in the news lately about possible extraterrestrial visits from other planets, other galaxies. And whether the government has been covering it up. In particular, many reports have revealed sightings from airplane cockpits.

So when a friend messaged the other day, asking whether Iโ€™d ever experienced UFOs or even extraterrestrials in the course of flight, I was reminded of an incident Jean and I experienced years ago in the Flying Carpet. You might call it โ€œFlying Carpet Meets Flying Saucer.โ€

So climb into the Flying Carpet. Buckle up your seat belts. And prepare for takeoff on Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #35. โ€œFlying Saucer!โ€
