Located along the Apache Trail, East of Apache Junction, and near the Lost Dutchman State Park.
This town is an old gold camp turned into a tourist attraction, with authentic looking features, and a Train Ride for those who like to take a little more time. An enjoyable couple hours if your in the area.

This summer my friend and I decided to just drive around see if we'd find anything interesting to photograph. We were just going along when we came across this random castle and I knew I had to stop and get a picture. Instead of just taking a simple picture of it I decided to make it a little "unique" by creating a filter using my sunglasses. I felt like it would give it the feeling as if you were seeing the castle from my point of view.

I have been working a lot recently and the stress level in my life has been very high with work. It is part of a cycle that has, thankfully, crested; I think. Today is about rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. It is sunny outside. The birds are busy at the feeders. My son willingly helped me with my concept for an ODC I had come to mind this morning. Now I am heading out for a drive in the country with the love of my life. Later, I will be enjoying a feast of seafood and cake, created with love, especially for me.
I am grateful for weekends off :-)

Explore #107 Thanks friends!
Hi friends, please pray for Levi, my grandson. He had very bad asthma today and turned blue. The ambulance, 5 paramedics, and 5 police caars came today.....I'm thankful for the county I live it, they responded quickly and he was breathing better. His mom has him at the doctor right now. The pollen is really making him sick.
Thank you for your prayers!
I shot this this morning when he was feeling well. I loved the light on his back....I never intended to upload this one but it seemed a good way to request prayer!
Vive le Printemps ...

Explored! #175 on June 24th 2010
Today was a day of house cleaning, file organizing, laundry doing, and random editing for some of my recent clients.
This was not client work, just a shot from memorial day when I went to a BBQ at my good friend Joey Ambrose's house. This is his beautiful pup "Dakota" and yes her tongue always goes to that side!

The sanctuary is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground, which was worshiped as an image of the deity. The structure was built in 1553.

The Hidimba Devi temple is built around a cave where Hidimba performed mediatation. Hidimba was supposed to live here with her brother Hidimb, and not much is known about their parents. Born in the Rakshas family, Hidimba vowed to marry one who would defeat her brother Hidimb, who was supposed to be very brave and fearless. During the Pandava's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandava exile, when they visited Manali Bhima, one of the five Pandvas, killed Hidimb. Thus, Hidimba married Bhima, and gave birth to their son Ghatotkacha.
The Hidimbi Devi Temple has intricately carved wooden doors and a 24 meters tall wooden "shikhar" or tower above the sanctuary. The tower consists of three square roofs covered with timber tiles and a fourth brass cone-shaped roof at the top. The earth goddess Durga forms the theme of the main door carvings. The temple base is made out of whitewashed, mud-covered stonework. An enormous rock occupies the inside of the temple, only a 7.5 cm (3 inch) tall brass image representing goddess Hidimbi Devi. A rope hangs down in front of the rock,and according to a legend,in bygone days religious zealots would tie the hands of "sinners" by the rope and then swing them against the rock.
About 70 metres away from the temple,there is a shrine dedicated to Goddess Hidimbi's son, Ghatotkacha who was born after she married Bhima. The most surprising feature of the temple or what believers could call the most reassuring feature of the temple is the fact that inside the temple the imprint of the feet of the Goddess carved on a block of stone are worshipped and if you goto Google Satellite and zoom into the area where the temple is located, you can clearly see the imprint of a giant foot spanning across the valley in the area near the temple.
The Indian epic Mahabharata narrates that Pāndavas stayed in Himachal during their exile. In Manali, a strongest person named Hidimba,a brother of Hidimdi, attacked them, and in the ensuing fight,Bhima,the strongest Pandav, killed him. Bhima and Hidimba's sister, Hidimbi, then got married and had a son, Ghatotkacha, (who later proved to be a great warrior in the war against Kauravas).When Bhima and his brothers returned from exile, Hidimbi did not accompany him,but stayed back and did tapasyā (a combination of meditation, prayer, and penance) so as to eventually attain the status of a goddess.

I don't know how much I'll be able to be on Flickr except to post some photos because my hip surgery is taking place on Feb. 9th and I have a lot of things to do. I'll stop in whenever possible but I know that I will miss a lot of photos. Right now I want to spend time getting things ready, spend time with my family, and my dogs. I hope you all understand. Hopefully I'll have a chance to let everyone know how I'm doing after I get home from the hospital. I'll do that as soon as possible. Obviously it will be awhile before I can come back to Flickr in full force. I wish you all a very nice week and want to thank you all for being such great friends here on Flickr. Lots of love and hugs!
I'm sorry that I am posting so many photos. I just have so many and I want to have more on here for the Cincinnati Zoo. You certainly don't have to comment on them because I can't promise that I'll be able to visit your beautiful photostreams consistently for awhile. I'll miss seeing all your beautiful photos and talking with you all. Thanks everyone!
