Arizona

Under the Desert Sun

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

I had planned to post this image while I was in Colombia, however, I was having issues with the internet while there. So, two weeks later, here it is.

Taken on a trip up Mount Lemmon outside of Tucson, Az. with my Fujifilm GFX 100S

Under the Arizona Sun

A number of years ago I captured a similar photo of three trees on top of Smith Rock in Oregon. When I saw these three trees standing together, I couldn’t resist taking the shot. Mount Lemmon, near Tucson.

Don’t Touch

As I have been exploring the desert in Arizona, I have learned to be very aware of where I walk and how close I get to the various cactus species. But it’s worth the risk to be out discovering all the unique beauty of the desert.

Bleached and Twisted

Dead wood left out in the dry Arizona sun ends up bleached and it starts to blend in with the local rocks.

I’m A Jerk

Lower Antelope Canyon

OK, all right. I admit it. I can be a jerk at times. Before we were married, Lynn wanted to surprise me with a trip to Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley. That’s a drive of 285 miles one way. When we drove into the parking lot, I had a mini meltdown and refused to go on the tour because there were about 25 or 30 other people waiting in line before us and I hate crowds. I thought we were going to explore the canyon alone, I guess. (I’ll take a break here so you can all laugh.)

Well, do NOT make the same mistake I almost made. Lynn coaxed and coddled till I relented. And it was one of the most exhilarating, exciting natural wonders of the southwest United States I’ve ever seen, rivaled only by Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, and Arches National Park. And maybe one or two others.

Don’t all you men wish you had a woman like mine? Who’ll put up with your shenanigans? And don’t all you women believe that all we men are still just 13-year-old brats who have to always have our way? And throw tantrums if we can’t?

To this day, I have no idea why Lynn decided to marry me. Maybe she felt sorry for me and thought she could change me? I know she’s still trying.

Interior Cool Creek Truck

Found at an old gas station off Route 66, not far from Kingman AZ. Joe will have to help with the make and model. There was nothing readable, no logos either, on this abandoned truck.

View from Meteor Crater, Arizona, I loved the idea of putting a frame around it and calling it a picture.
