Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

This is the view from one of the many breathtaking viewpoints along Hermit Road in Grand Canyon National Park, at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona. Our party had been dodging clouds on and off, all afternoon, a couple of Fridays ago and it was fortunate they had moved along far enough by day’s end to allow for some decent photography.

No passing zone ahead

The view from the passenger seat last weekend, on a highway somewhere on the way to Page, Arizona.

Immersed in relaxation

Here’s a neat visual trick, spotted by the window of an office in downtown Phoenix a couple of weeks ago.

Fireball on wheels

Fireball on wheels

Downtown Phoenix can seem a little sterile at times … but slide into an alley here and there and you might find something as bright and colourful as this, which I spotted not too long ago at the (very discreet) entrance to a bicycle maintenance shop.

Other-worldly view

Somewhere in this craggy, arid landscape is downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The view was captured from a park on South Mountain on a recent visit there.

Rural Arizona: View from the passenger seat

Black top, red rocks

It’s fun when someone else is driving … otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to snap these shots.
The first two were shot on the approach to Sedona, Arizona, from the south.
The third was taken in ranch country east of Prescott Valley, after coming down the winding, hilly road from Jerome, Arizona, on the long route back to Phoenix.
Thanks to my sister for her excellent piloting on this beautiful Saturday back in November.
