I was awake before dawn and decided to take a local photo tour to capture dramatic lighting and early mornings sights. I incorporated my black and white photography work in to this trip.
I had my smaller lens because I intended to only work on landscapes. But when I saw this beautiful bird in Papago Park, I had to quietly approach it to get close enough for a photograph. I was ready to take this "bird in take off position" type of photograph.
This is a view of Papago Park. Today it is a municipal park in Phoenix and Tempe. The area is know for the desert plants and the geological formations. It is a former national monument (1914) but the ownership was transferred to Arizona in 1930.
This is the First Solar office building. It is interesting with the top part of the wall leaning away from the main part of the building.
This is the new Salt River Project (SRP) office building. This is a stunning lobby with the neon artworks.
This photo is taken on the opposite side of Tempe Town Lake and shows the magnificent new buildings in Tempe.
Dark time lighting makes one notice areas that had gone unnoticed before. This is an area under the 202 Freeway that is used to store racing boats. A few of the teams were practicing on Tempe Town Lake.
