Don't just look out of the train and condemn 'em. It just looks like nothing couldent live by looking out of a sleeper window :-)
Will Rogers, 1933
Sedona, Arizona
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.

Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. In 1999, the Great Pinecone Drop became Flagstaff’s New Year’s Eve tradition, when the Weatherford Hotel rang in the new millennium and honored the Hotel’s 100-year anniversary. Since then, thousands have gathered in the streets for the countdown into the New Year and the lowering of the Pinecone followed by a brief fireworks display.
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.

Arizona. Gilbert. Mon rêve était d'immortaliser cette espèce sur un bokeh doré. C'est donc un coup de coeur assuré. I really wished to shoot that elegant avocet on a creamy BG. So now, I am blessed.
that part of Arizona between the north rim of the Grand Canyon and the Utah state line. Home to ranchers, Navajos, Paiutes, polygamists and other old-time wild cats. Set your clock back 150 years.
