• The San Rafael Ranch is near this location.
  • South of here is a great monument in Lochiel to Fray Marcos de Niza, one of the oldest documented sites where the Spanish crossed into Arizona in 1539!!! This early date amazes me.

San Rafael Valley, Arizona

A brilliant skyscape just after the rains and overcast sky suddenly disappeared in the late afternoon. This was taken in the San Rafael Valley of southern Arizona. This place is about 10 miles north of Lochiel, close to the border with Mexico.

Without a wide-angle lens, I would not have been able to capture this scene. Now that I see what an inexpensive lens can do, I want that Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens even more. I'm waiting for that bluebird of happiness to drop about $700 on me. I may be waiting a long, long time for that bird.
