Ladee's Travels

 Two Guns is a historic ghost town located in Arizona, USA, along the old Route 66. It was a popular stopping point for travelers along the famous highway during the mid-20th century. The town got its name from a trading post that used to sell firearms to the Apache and Navajo tribes. Two Guns is known for its natural beauty, including the nearby Canyon Diablo and Apache Death Cave. The town's popularity waned as the route of Route 66 changed, leading to its decline. Today, Two Guns is mostly in ruins, but some remnants of the old trading post and other structures can still be found. It has become a popular spot for tourists and history enthusiasts interested in exploring its past and enjoying the scenic surroundings.

 Notes from the iPhone photograph To capture better night photography using an iPhone, here are some tips and techniques you can try: 1. Steady the camera: Night photography often requires longer exposure times, making camera shake more noticeable. Use a tripod or find a stable surface to rest your iPhone on for sharper shots.

Night mode automatically detects low-light conditions and extends the exposure time, resulting in brighter and more detailed images. Keep...
