| Suguaro National Park northwest of Tucson. This is a 90º wide angle view. Double click to enlarge, and then scroll right. |
 |
| According to the visitors center, the suguaro had flowered earlier, but we caught a few late bloomers. |
 |
| Fall or spring is the only time to visit here. The weather was perfect. |
|
 |
|
| From Suguaro NP, we went to Tucson to ride their trolley that makes regular runs, and hoped to hear the roar I heard from Oklahoma City Trolleys. Turns out the trolley is a Japanese trolley. They're quiet, and I rode those in Japan. So we went on to Tombstone. |
 |
| Tombstone has "Brokeback Mountain" cowboys? See the two on the far left? |
 |
| I asked these guys what time they kill each other, and they said "At two o'clock down on the corner." |
 |
 |
|
| I thought this sweet lady was part of a biker gang. |
 |
| But looking closer, she was obviously a part of an OK Corral gunfight reenactment. |
|
| They had two competing OK Corral gunfight shows. This was the "fake" location. But they put on a good, lengthy show. I didn't attend, but just put my camera over the fence and took a picture. |
 |
| On the left is the "real" location of the OK Corral gunfight, and where they have reenactments. The walls are built high around it. |
 |
| Signs around the OK Corral. |
 |
 |
|
| The Corral extends from main street to the street behind it. But it is walled off. |
 |
| I had a shoot out with another photographer in the middle of Tombstone. I was packing a Sony DSC-F707 digital camera in my holster. |
 |
| The other photographer shot first, as can be determined by this picture. |
 |
| Tombstone's Boothill Graveyard. One must pay to get in and see piles of rocks allegedly representing grave sites. Never saw a graveyard that charged admission before. |
 |
| Makes one wonder about whether those piles of rocks represent
original grave sites. Didn't pay to get in ... I just shot this picture over the fence. |
|
| And on we went to Silver City, New Mexico for the night. Saw a beautiful fall pinkish orange sunset as we went up the mountains.
