Old Tucson
Back in January, I had an opportunity to walk around Old Tucson Studios early in the morning before they opened. Although the place might look deserted in these snapshots, a running event was happening with hundreds of people meandering through the little town and cheering at the finish line. Here are some quiet moments from the venue:

I can't believe I have never visited there. It makes me sad that I never did that before the fire.
Beautiful shots. I like the Crooked Creek Chapel shot with the sun coming up in background. This place is a lot of fun for gatherings. We had several parties here at night and it was very special.
Well, I think that is really a lot of "about it for now" ... wonderful, wonderful, wonderful photos today !
The last photo of Gates Pass is lovely.
One of my favorite drives.
When Japanese Family come over for a visit next month maybe I will send them over for the afternoon.
Thanks for the great idea !
I grew up around that area so for me I forget it's not just my neighborhood but a place to visit !
cheers, parsnip

Beautiful. I really loved that donkey. He looks shy :)
I'm glad you found some quiet time to take such fantastic shots of the area. Those reflection shots are gorgeous!
You have so many wonderful shots here, but I especially enjoyed the adobe ruins and the bee! Of course, the bee. :)
beautiful shots and composition Dianne, that adobe ruin is very interesting, especially with your beautiful composition. and yes, the crow is real, what a beautiful landscape.
I love all the photos....that second photo is my favorite....the adobe ruins and the one below it with the flower and also the glass window...ahh I love them all....looking at them calms one's spirit...
Great post. I really like the chapel photograph.
We used to love this place before and after it burnt down better than the one in Tombstone...
The last time I was in Tucson was 1975. I really need to go back and visit again.
You've captured the character of the town. That pony is adorable. Little TJ is really growing!
tThis looks like a wonderful spot to visit.
The crow, and the moments are real.
They are so peaceful.
Interesting photos. Love the crow on the post and the cactus around the railroad station.
Looks like a great place to explore.
These are so great! I was at Old Tucson Studios a few weeks ago, but my pictures weren't nearly so fabulous; so fun to see the location once more through your lens.
Hello! I agree with these comments...Beautiful photos!
And I was just in Tucson two weeks ago (I live in North Carolina)to go to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. I took the long way via Speedway to Gates Pass Road, stopping along the way to take pictures. I love the Arizona desert, but if I could live anywhere it would be up in the Dragoon Mountains near Benson.
Love your blog.
Lovely pictures... thank you for sharing...
Oh it's been a long time since we've driven down Gates Pass Road. All the road construction in Tucson kept us away the last couple of years we lived in AZ.
That's a nice series of images from Old Tucson. I like that burro.
