Monsoon Season 2022

Matt Perkins August 7, 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.

Hole in the Rock

Matt Perkins November 22, 2020

In Papago Park there is a natural geological feature called Hole in the Rock which is…..exactly what it sounds like…a large rock formation with a hole in the middle of it. Clearly, this is not the best vantage point from which to see the hole, but the formation standing above the waterline caught my eye and was well framed by the palm tree’s in the foreground.

The Westward Ho

Matt Perkins November 8, 2020

The past few days we’ve had some clouds and light rain roll through the valley which, if it doesn’t completely blanket the city, can provide some truly spectacular sunsets. This has been the case the past few days so I ventured out into my neighborhood to see what the weather might provide.

This is The Westward Ho. It was built as a hotel in 1928 and was the tallest building in Arizona for 30 years. The hotel served as the site for numerous large scale events and weddings. The hotel can also be seen in movies such as the 1998 remake of Psycho, the 1972 movie Pocket Money with Paul Newman and the 1965 movie Bus Stop starring Marilyn Monroe. The antenna on top of the building was used to broadcast the first television station in Phoenix and is now used as a cell tower.
