Old West, Tucson Arizona










The theme this week is water, well this is a take on the lack of water we have here in the desert, just dry and dusty!
I am so jealous of all the green plants, green grass and beatiful lush scenery I have been seeing on everyone else's blogs! I live in Tucson, Arizona where there is very little green. We are desert and dirt and cactus. We do have some gorgeous mountains and breath taking sunsets though! This is the Old West. This is my friends property. There was an old tack room and some awesome antique farm equipment that I just had to take pictures of. I don't know my settings, I used every setting there was and I either got my photos too dark or the dirt looked over exposed! We have a lot of sun here and it was high noon so it was very very bright! I used some of Jess's actions to make them look a bit more old west! I would love some CC. Thanks for looking!

First...i love the song-love the musical. Did you know there's a revival of it right now? I'm excited.

Off track, sorry. I like the take on the theme, lack of water.

Oh man, I"d take some of that lack of water any day. I live in Seattle, and in the last 3 weeks, we have had 2 days that it didn't rain. I LOVE seeing the desert. Really like the way you see things, too. Welcome to the group!!

Glas your posting on the POTD. Great shots and what a fun location. I hear you on the lack of water.

Welcome to POTD! These are really cool. I especially love the first one--the textures and processing are great.

Tori said...

cool shots! I live just a little bit south of you, so I totally understand the deal with shooting in full sun.

Love the song playing, also.... one of my favorites!
