"Chapel of the Holy Cross Vertical" by Loree Johnson Photography. Inspired and commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, the Chapel of the Holy Cross was almost built in Budapest, Hungary. World War II abruptly halted those plans and she looked homeward to Sedona, Arizona. The Chapel stands on public land in the Coconino National Forest thanks to the late senator Barry Goldwater, who helped Staude obtain a special use permit. Integrated into the red rock buttes, the chapel is an architectural marvel.

Loree Johnson is a nature photographer and passionate advocate for the preservation and restoration of ecosystems and wildlife habitat. She discovered a love for photography late in life at the age of 50 while living in Yreka, California. The desire to travel and document nature induced her to take an early retirement from a tedious desk job and go on the road. During her travels through the Western U.S. for six years (2014-2020) she collected a wealth of rewarding experiences and unique photographs. She volunteered for several National Wildlife Refuges along the way. Loree experiences profound joy in nature, and believes that all people should have the opportunity to experience it, too.
