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.

The Superstitions

A simple case of the right place at the right time I managed to catch a mix of clouds, rain, sunlight, and a rainbow crossing the face of the Superstition Mountains.

Superstition Nights

Our monsoon season has pretty much ended here in Phoenix, but we had storms roll through on and off a few days ago. After watching the show from home for a while I decided I needed to get out and capture the scene from somewhere other than my own bedroom window. I headed out to the Superstition Mountains about 3am and stayed there until just after 6 as the storm was abating the light from the day started affecting my long exposures. This image is a 3 shot blend that I thought worked best, but there certainly wasn’t a shortage of amazing photos to be had.

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.

Mt. Lemmon Vista

Mt. Lemmon is the highest point in the Santa Catalina mountains with an elevation of 9,159 feet and sits just east of the city of Tucson. The mountain is home to numerous hiking trails, an observatory and a ski resort. The mountain is a popular destination for the residents of Tucson and Phoenix, particularly during the summer months as the temperature at the summit is generally 20 degrees cooler than it is at the base.

Mountain Peak

From the San Sophia gondola stop, the clouds would intermittently obscure our view of the mountains ten miles away. It was simply a waiting game until the cloud cover would clear and the mountains would peek through.

Tonto Nights

The stars and Milky Way rise over a mountain near Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest. Many thanks to my friend Sam for driving out to the middle of nowhere with me to hang out and watch the stars.
