I've been camping in the White Mountains -- north and west
[CORRECTION: what am I thinking, the White Mountains are north and EAST] of Tucson. Sometimes one just finds the right spot at the right time and that was the case. I stayed until the holding tank indicated 'no more.'
Some photos, of course -- click on image for larger view.
This picture is at the top of the page (for today). It was taken from my campsite. If only I could move my house there. Sigh.
Just having some fun manipulation the image. I call it Lucy's Ghost.
This is the original image of Lucy's Ghost ... well almost. With digital cameras there's really no such thing as original. The only real question is how accurate the image, and even that is much in the eye of the beholder.
Palm tree planted by the long forgotten?
But never fear, lest a nice little out of the way place to stop between Tucson and points North and East, the Phoenix instinct to cover the desert with cement is alive and well. Yes, I realize that there are many in Tucson who would like to catch up with the abomination that Phoenix has become. But Phoenix has a big head start and unless they stop growing, Tucson cannot catch up. Together though these forces will fill the corridor(s) between these two cities with ugliness.
This is the view in the opposite direction from the sign above.
New photos taken at the Rillito River Park are located
