Forrest Gump Point

If this shot looks familiar to you, it should. This is US Hwy 163 and it runs through Utah on its way to Monument Valley. The road and view look familiar because this is the spot where Forrest Gump decided he had had enough of running and headed home to his beloved Alabama. I was racing the clock and had already missed the sunset when I arrived here and wasn’t even sure if any of the (rather rushed) photos would be salvageable. I had just enough light and color left in the sky to fire off a few frames while dodging traffic (for being out in the middle of nowhere, at dusk, the road was surprisingly busy) and other photographers.

Papago View

I actually shot this panorama a couple of weeks ago when I posted the photo of the palm trees reflected on the water, but there was one section of the panorama that was significantly out of focus………….so I went back. The photo was taken at the top of a small hill that hosts a pyramid in which the remains of the first governor of Arizona, his wife, and their families are interred.

The Superstition Mountains

The moon provides the lighting on the Superstition mountains just outside of Phoenix. While you can't see it there is a trail that runs to the top and provides an amazing view of the valley below.
