Tucson

I've seen countless shots of the city of Tucson from some vantage point, and never really knew where they were shot from. I thought I had an idea, but it would've involved a pretty long lens. I was finally introduced to Sentinel Peak, better known as "A" Mountain. A small peak just to the south east of downtown Tucson, with a huge letter "A" made on the mountain out of painted rocks. Either way, it has a great, easily accessible view of the city and the Catalina Mountains. Here's the city I live in, and the mountains that I play in.

Last week my buddy Grant stopped by during a road trip of the south in his veggie oil powered VW wagon. He was here for 2 days and we managed to pack as much in as possible. Here are a few photos I took while showing him around, and exploring with him.
Enjoy.

One of the waterfalls in La Milagrosa Canyon

Pine trees and snow at the top of Mt. Lemmon.

This valley has become my favorite spot to shoot, a view from Mt. Lemmon.

This is a view from my favorite vista along the Catalina Highway up Mt. Lemmon.
It's called the 7 Cataracts Vista and I always stop here with people to show the shell of a van that was driven off the cliff. And until this day I had never seen the huge waterfalls flowing. It was a mostly cloudy day, and waiting around gave me the perfect light on the falls. I'd love to hike there next time we get a lot of rain.
