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. Tucson. Comment terminer ce voyage en Arizona sans l'irréductible coyote qui poursuit inlassablement le roadrunner de mon enfance. Still don't know if he will ever catch that roadrunner.
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.
Bartlett Lake, Arizona. Classic because it includes many of the things people associate with Arizona:
along US 89 at Page Arizona
Today again I felt liked planning a trip to the USA ... but times are not so, at the moment
Between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. the sun is in the right position to shine light onto the canyon floor. Dust from the canyon floor creates the images in the light beam. This is really a magical place to visit and shoot in.
Please click on the image. It looks best on black.
Light painting on the large rocks there in the Marble Canyon area of Arizona. Light on the clouds is from Page, Arizona.
A male masked bobwhite (Colinus virginianus ridgwayi) in an aviary at the Arizona-Sonora Museum in Tucson, Arizona. The species was once abundant in Arizona but wild populations here no longer exist--a result of the disturbance of grassland habitat by grazing cattle.
