Travel Theme – Hot

Arizona desert landscape is hot, dry and filled with all kinds of sagebrush and cactus.  There is a beauty to the vast, arid land that re-awakens after a rain adding green to the scenery.

My idea of hot, dry heat is in the southwest in Arizona stretching from Tuscon to Sedona with canyons, cliffs and desert  throughout.  A look back in photos from a past trip to Arizona and the land under the desert skies.

“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.” Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
