Colorado City, AZ

I headed to Colorado City, Arizona to see how the old schoolers live. I thought I would sit at a diner and soak up the daily life of this unique town. But there was no diner. There were houses sided with particle board. There were a bunch of privacy fences, like in Beverly Hills (kind of). The houses were large and secretive. All the ladies wore the same hair bun and long ass dresses. Kids were everywhere and they all seemed to be doing chores, dressed up like little frontierspeople. I took all these pictures from my moving vehicle. I was definitely invading their much cherished privacy. But I think and hope it's harmless. It's probably more harmless than polygamy.





North Rim



I made it to Arizona to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. (whoops 3200 ISO)

Utah Rainbow


I mean, the pot of gold is RIGHT THERE, in THAT BUSH.


This is all the "same" rainbow, the middle shot taken about 20 miles up the road.
