Today's Sunday Special is a place that is high on my bucket list - the American southwest town of Sedona, Arizona. Even one of my all-time fav songs is called "Sedona" by Houndmouth (click the link to watch their video). Photos of Sedona's red rock terrain have enraptured my mind for years. It's proximity to...
