Across the River

The Columbia River Gorge is a canyon that stretches on for 80 miles as it channels its way through the Cascade Range. The gorge and river form a natural border between Oregon and Washington. This photo was taken on the Oregon side of the river, just down the roadway from Multnomah Falls. The overcast and gray skies still allowed us some amazingly beautiful fall views including this one of clouds crossing the face of a ridgeline two miles away.

Water Tower Plaza

When I first moved to AZ in 2012, I spent a week living in Gilbert Arizona with the gracious parents of my friend and soon-to-be roommate/study buddy/RN school classmate Nate. At the time the downtown area had some nice places to eat and a few shops to meander through. Since then the area has blossomed and now sports a wide variety of eating establishments and entertainment venues.

The centerpiece of this area is Water Tower Plaza. The water tower was erected in 1927 and was initially used to store water for firefighting and then transitioned to hold drinking water until 1985. A nearby pump house provided the pressure needed to push water to the tower’s height of over 230 feet. Gravity then provided the pressure needed to disperse the water to the town’s residents. While the water tower ceased operations after 1985 the decision was made in 2008 to renovate the water tower and build the plaza that it now sits on. The property now hosts numerous events throughout the year and the tower has been fitted with lighting that draws the eye after the sun goes down.

Monsoon Season 2022

It’s monsoon season here in Phoenix, and we’ve had multiple days of strong winds, rains, flooding, and thunderstorms. I got off work a little after 3 am on Thursday morning and was treated to quite the light show on my drive home so I ran around until about 8 both at home and south mountain taking in the storm.

Phon D Sunset

I made a last-minute decision to head out toward the Phon D Sutton Recreation area and ended up paying the price by having to nearly run up a nearby hill to get set up for the last colors of sunset. Situated along the banks of the Lower Salt River the area is an oasis for canoes, tubing and fishing.

Greetings from Thunderbird!

I’m trying to break out of hiking my usual trails and as such went hiking in Thunderbird Conservation Park in north Phoenix. The park incorporates the Hedgepeth Hills, named after an early homesteader that settled in the area. The name Thunderbird comes from a WW2 pilot training facility located 4 miles south of the park. Hosting biking, hiking, and horseback riding, the park claims approximately 15miles of multi-use trails.

Pyramid Trail Sunset

The Pyramid Trail runs between the 19th Ave Trailhead and the National Trail. It is an enjoyable, yet challenging trail consisting of a 1 mile lead up to a 0.8-mile steep climb through numerous switchbacks and then leveling off to a ridgeline view of Ahwatukee and the Phoenix Radio Towers.

Boyce Thompson Milky Way

We have at least three significant wildfires burning east and northeast of Phoenix. Record drought and unusually hot weather have made these fires extremely difficult to contain. After spending a day taking some pictures at South Mountain I had the idea to try and get a time-lapse of the fires from an area well away from the firefighting operations. Photos posted by others showed visible flames from Apache Junction and East Mesa so at midnight I decided to drive out to a parking area across from Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Whether the fires had died down a bit by that point or I just didn’t have a good vantage point the end result was that I couldn’t even see a glow from my vantage point. My location was well outside of Phoenix and about 3.5 miles outside of Superior, AZ. As such there was very little light pollution and while a view of the fire was not to be seen I had an amazing view of the stars and the Milky Way.

Picacho Road

Picacho is a small rural town outside of Phoenix as you head south toward Tucson. The area is a bit of an anomaly as it is home to miles and miles of farmland in the middle of our generally barren desert. I had driven out there to fly my drone and ended up staying for the sunset.
