Arizona & California's turn from Parker, Az to Cadiz, Ca is seen about half way between Chubbuck and Cadiz not long before sunset. The reason for the excessive amount of locomotives is the impending interchange with BNSF at Cadiz. The Arizona & California would take a significant load back towards Parker.
Another interesting mine-related Arizona short line was the Magma Arizona Railroad (MMA), which ran from Superior, Arizona, to a connection with the Southern Pacific at Magma, a distance of 28 miles. The MMA stabled an interesting roster of steam and diesels over the years

The smelter at Superior had closed that year and copper ore was being interchanged to the SP at Magma. The SP hauled the ore to Hayden and transferred it to the San Manuel Arizona Railroad (SMA) for the final leg of the journey to the smelter at San Manuel. The Superior operation and the Magma Arizona were shut down in 1997. While the track is still in place, trains have not operated over the line in years.
Darkness slowly falls amidst the impressive gorges and rugged chasms of the Grand Canyon during a colorful December sunset. This huge gorge created by the Colorado River, 446 km long and up to 1,857 meters deep, is definitely one of the most impressive places I ever visited.
A place of devastating and savage beauty, which assumes almost mystical notes if you have the good fortune to contemplate it completely alone during a beautiful winter sunset.

Superstition Mountain boldly stands guard over the eastern edge of Arizona's vast
'Valley of the Sun' which sprawls 100 miles to the west and is home to over 4 million people in the Phoenix metro area.
The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine centers around the Superstition Mountains. According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Walzer discovered a mother lode in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Walzer discovered, but none of those claims have been verified.

Painted Desert, Arizona.
A hand-held image with my D300 when making a quick stop at the Painted Desert / Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, USA. The colors vary greatly depending on the time of day of your visit. I recommend late Fall , Winter, or Early spring. Oh how I wish there would have been a brightly painted Jeep or colorfully dressed hiker in the foreground or in the distance. lol
We saw this crawling around while hiking in the Picacho Peak area outside of Tucson, AZ. My brother did some research on the internet to find out what this thing was.
Purple hour over Sedona originally horribly underexposed brought back from the brink by luminosity mask tools I have been doing some Lumenzia course work the past few weeks while not traveling and the wife is traveling.
Sedona is famous for its sunsets and though I waited patiently for one as long as possible it never arrived so this is the best I could muster, black and blue with a purple hue of the hills of Sedona tightly hugging the town as its lights are just starting to glow.
I would love to say that I have further shots from the sunrise morning on Schnebly Hill but unfortunately our plans of spending the morning and day shooting buttes before heading to Flagstaff was a big fail.
It started raining hard right at this shot and didn’t stop until checkout around 11:30 rained so hard little streams were formed all over the hotel property can’t imagine what is was like in the bush.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm 1s, f/13 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia

Beautiful new leaves against the blue sky.
When you leave the desert floor (this is in a mountain canyon about 5,000 feet above sea level) the vegetation changes from cactus to forest.
Lightning thunderstorm striking the Arizona desert floor in monsoon season, a real show of power and energy.
Very much appreciated!

This was so much fun to photograph--and I apologise for all the horse photos but I know at least a few of you aren't bored yet!
I was traveling through Arizona a few days ago – headed home after visiting my son and his wife in Phoenix. I took a little detour, just about 6 miles off I-40, near the eastern border of Arizona to visit the famous Meteor Crater.
It is truly impressive, especially when you consider it was caused by a direct hit from a relatively small meteor. The crater is about 550 feet deep and 4,000 feet across and was caused by a meteor not much bigger than a large house – only about 150 feet across. It’s scary to even contemplate what would happen if a fairly large meteor hit the Earth – I’m afraid it would be a catastrophic event! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
One thing that shows the size of the crater is when you consider that I was standing on the edge, using a 14mm lens, and I still couldn’t get the whole thing into the photo!
For this HDR image, I started with 7 bracketed images and used Photomatix Pro to combine them.

The proprietor is leaving town for the first road trip and photo safari of the Covid era. This adventure should be an extremely low risk affair to a few remote western locations. The canyons and deserts are more likely to be populated by bighorn sheep and chuckwallas than trafficked by asymptomatic carriers of the coronavirus. And the sites should be far enough off the grid to avoid hearing more lies and misinformation from the most corrupt administration ever.
