Phoenix, Arizona

Ah, if only life were so easy! This altered street sign was seen in Phoenix, Arizona, back in November 2015.

Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona, U.S.A.

Let’s flip the calendar back almost a year to my visit to Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona. Still can’t get over the gorgeous rock formations to be found in this place.

Warehouse District, Phoenix, Arizona

There’s no doubt what this building used to be! From my trip to Phoenix, Arizona, back in April.

Phoenix, Arizona

Here’s a small sticker with a big political message, presumably relaying a dislike for the way North America’s indigenous peoples are portrayed in professional sports team names and branding. Found this on my recent visit to Phoenix.

Phoenix, Arizona

Historical painted signs are as rare in Phoenix as they are in Calgary, it seems. Even in the older Warehouse District, south of the office towers in downtown Phoenix, things like these are hard to spot. This image captured on my visit there last month.

Phoenix, Arizona

The statement holds true even if you’re just a neon sign in the shape of a hound. Spotted in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

Taste of Cuba, Phoenix, Arizona

This depiction of Havana, Cuba, adorns a wall alongside an access ramp to a parking garage in downtown Phoenix … and there’s no apparently obvious reason why this is here. (Was there a Cuban restaurant or social club here, once upon a time?) Image captured back in April.
