A natural 'cathedral'
Drive a couple hours north from the high-rises of Phoenix and you'll discover a different sort of skyline. The town of Sedona, Arizona, is renowned for its rocks: both the countless crystals on display in its funky New Age shops and the myriad sandstone structures surrounding it. In addition to the pictured Cathedral Rock, the 'architecture' in Sedona includes Courthouse Rock, Capitol Butte, and Airport Mesa—home to the city's actual airport, and famous among Microsoft Flight Simulator fans as the 2020 edition's virtual training area.
