Arizona is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Its other neighboring states are Nevada to the northwest and California to the west. It also shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. It is the 6th-largest and the 14th-most-populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix, which is the most populous state capital in the United States.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. Historically part of the territory of Alta California and Nuevo México in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848, where the area became part of the territory of New Mexico. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Sunrise, and Tucson. In addition to the internationally known Grand Canyon National Park, which is one of the world's seven natural wonders, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
Arizona is home to a diverse population. About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the country, with more than 300,000 citizens. Since the 1980s, the proportion of Hispanics has grown significantly owing to migration from Mexico and Central America. A substantial portion of the population are followers of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona's population and economy have grown dramatically since the 1950s because of inward migration, and the state is now a major hub of the Sun Belt. Cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have developed large, sprawling suburban areas. Many large companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, have headquarters in the state, and Arizona is home to major universities, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University. The state is known for a history of conservative politicians such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, though it has become a swing state in recent years.

Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Lechee, Arizona. It includes six separate, scenic slot canyon sections on the Navajo Reservation, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), Rattle Snake Canyon, Owl Canyon, Mountain Sheep Canyon, Canyon X and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). It is the primary attraction of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, along with a hiking trail to Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through the (Slot Canyon) rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. They are accessible by Navajo guided tour only.

Me (Kathy) at a border marker that was placed back about 1945, before the fence was put up. August 1990
Originally built as a power station for the Urban Electric Company, it was later converted for use as an engineering works for Turnbull and Scott. They left the site in 2010 (but still operate from Hawick). After some years on the Buildings at Risk Register, the building was spectacularly converted into a distillery by Gray Macpherson Architects.
The office block that fronts the site is a rather unusual use of Tudor revival style.
There's a great big bog over the hill .. they could both 'smell' it as they always do where there's water around. Every time I turned my back the were both off like this - and I didn't really want two brown dogs!!
The Blacklion-Belcoo railway bridge lies in the Belcoo River viewed from the South. It was demolished by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in 1976. It was built in 1879 on the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway line and was served locally by the Belcoo and Blacklion Station in Belcoo.

Signs and notices randomly assembled from the Borders Railway in 2025, its tenth year of operation.
One of the two Scotrail station signs is a platform location notice and the other, the standard UK railway station “flag” with double arrow logo.
The commemoration for Jeff is located on the station at Fairshaw, while Alastair’s is on a bench, outside of (but with a view of) Tweedbank station.
The border crossing back to the US on the Lewiston Bridge. It took us almost two hours to get through this, mostly spent waiting on slow moving line. Once we get to the gate, the immigration officer only asked several simple questions similar to the Canadian counterpart on our way into Canada the week before. He also asked if we had any fresh produce and alcohol with us, and we said yes and showed our peaches and plums and mentioned our several bottles of wine in the back. Since they're all from Ontario, it wasn't a problem at all..

Il Wahga Border è il confine Pakistan/India dove ogni sera durante l'ammaina bandiera che si tiene nella zona franca tra due cancelli, i due stati in continua lotta, si sfidano e danno spettacolo con quella che ormai è diventata una parata con tifosi, animatori e guardie scelte. I soldati chr portano barba o baffi hanno un aumento sul salario mensile per il mantenimanto della stessa. In questo set, ho cercato di creare un percorso, iniziando dalla strada per arrivare a Wahga, passando per gli animatori, i canti (Lunga vita al Pakistan PAKISTAN ZINDABA +o-), fino ad arrivare al momento in cui le bandiere si incrociano.

Work underway on the bridge over B710 north of Galashiels - involving the removing of the decayed steel span and a lot of work to the abutments.
This stone was the border between the old Buzen Province and Chikuzen Province.

My lovely friend Jo has two dogs - an old border terrier called Buzzy and a young, very energetic black lab called Lola. Jo asked me if I could give a new lease of life to a linen cushion that had been given to her by her mum. I wish I'd thought to take a 'before' photo - the whole cover was in tatters as Lola had set about it in a fit of jealousy! I managed to salvage the main panel and put it together with some fake fur and burberry check to pick out those lovely brown and tan border terrier colours. The final touch was to smarten up the linen by shaving off all the greying bobbly bits with a disposable razor - it worked perfectly!
