One of the many rock formations seen in Arizona when travelling US Highway 40 (and Route 66) between Flagstaff and Needles California... Oh, if I only had a Corvette : )
Hopefully some remember Route 66, a popular television show during the early 1960s that bore the road's name: "Route 66". Starring George Maharis as Buz, and Martin Milner as Tod. These two and their 62 Corvette blazed a fun-filled trail across the USA on Route 66.

Antelope Canyon in Arizona USA is a great place for photographers who like exploring. During the summer, sun beams enter the caves from above casting shadows and illuminating the sand.
The Vermilion Flycatcher quickly became a favorite of mine while in the Tucson, AZ area. Always exciting to find a bird that is not in your home state. They are primarily in Mexico and a few parts of the Southwestern United States.

Gonna be off for awhile, going elk hunting :) Happy photography to all my Flickr friends! This picture made the cover of the Nov/Dec issue of AAA Highroads magazine Arizona edition published 24 Oct 2014.
As the sun started to creep down, the surrounding desert lit up in flaming reds. This is Saguaro National Park, so-named for the cacti that stand sentinel over this idyllic scene.

During the monsoon, or summer thunderstorm season, Arizona experiences more severe weather than many other states.
you can smell, hear and see storms coming.

Our flight back to Ottawa from Phoenix was not until midnight so I hoped to catch some decent light in Sedona before having to head toward the airport this shot of the road to Boynton Canyon might be one of my faves with some good horizontal rays kissing various parts of the rock formation.
Before anyone says this shot would have been better with the sign cloned out I wanted it included and thought it made a good balance to the scene if not I would have set up three paces forward of it.
The Boynton Canyon area is popular and there seems to be a lot of people that live out this way kind of the suburbs of Sedona and also the location of some of Sedona’s most exclusive high end resorts and communities.
The Canyon is popular due to the ease of access it is one of the relatively few canyon trails which the trailhead is reached by a paved road and with an easy hike its whole length making it ideal for the inexperienced or older crowd.
The popularity of the three mile trail is due mainly to the finish, at the end is a raised lookout on one side of a box canyon that is walled on three sides by vertical sandstone cliffs rising up to 1,200 feet above

Named after its first postmaster, John S. Cochran, the small mining camp also served as a stop on the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway. The post office was established on January 3, 1905, and was discontinued on January 15, 1915. At its peak, the town was home to approximately one hundred residents, and housed a general store and a boardinghouse, among other establishments.[1]
Apart from a few building foundations in the town center, and the train tracks that still run by the edge of the now-abandoned town site, Cochran's last and most notable remains are a set of five largely intact beehive coke ovens across the Gila River at Butte, Arizona.
The ovens were used in the early 1900s to make coke, a clean-burning fuel used in blast furnaces to produce iron ore. Coke was made by baking a mixture of different kinds of coal at high temperature without contact with air.
A year and six trips finally made it and it was well worth it! Very scenic 4 whlr trip and very ruff to :) I used my trusty Canon 7d on this trip. There was too much dust, too many rocks and just didn't want to take a chance on ruining my 1D on this trip so the pictures aren't quite as good as they might have been.
