South Phoenix

South Phoenix by MikeJonesPhoto.
Another from the helicopter ride. This right here is the primary reason for the flight. I have been struggling for three months to get a decent shot of this place, and it's been annoying the hell out of me. There is absolutely no vantage point where I can shoot a nice overview of the city. From the ground, you have all kinds of crap in the foreground that kills the shot. From the mountains, there is so much smog that you can barely see the city. So... Here it is... Phoenix... Can I leave now?

Beautiful. I love the light and clouds. Great shot especially considering the degree of difficulty from that little helicopter. Next time rent a Bell 401 for a more stable platform. This looks like the view from above 5th St and Roosevelt looking southwest. Arizona Center in the foreground. Hyatt Hotel with the revolving restaurant is on 1st St just south of Van Buren. Civic Plaza and US Airways Center along the left edge with Collier Center next to them. The Chase Building was originally built as the Valley National Bank Building. VNB was acquired by Banc One which was acquired by Chase. The building with the Price Waterhouse sign is Renaissance One. It's at Central Ave and Jefferson(?) by what was Patriot's Park which is being "redeveloped"

You ready to see some great hikes after April 15?
