Talk about color!! No need for Photoshop here. What you see are the real colors of La Placita Village in Tucson, AZ. Located in Tucson's Old Town, just on the other side of the Interstate from downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona, this little village has several small shops and restaurants, and the Tucson Visitor Center. From here you can take several walking tours to see historic old Tucson with its many fabulous old mansions, the Tucson Museum of Art, and the Tucson Convention Center, to name just a few. Tucson was one of those rare cities that I fell in love with immediately. It is just a special place and I was fortunate to spend 6 days there in January. There are many opportunities for photography all over the area...just ask Ansel Adams. It was a favorite destination of his and a huge number of his original prints are housed in the Center for Creative Photography, located on the northern edge of the U of A campus. I heartily recommend a trip to this city if you can.
Yes...it gets hot in the summer, but is cooler than Phoenix or Yuma. It sits at a higher elevation and is surrounded by mountains and has extremely low humidity. And the sunsets are magnificent! There is a special glow in the day light that reminds me so much of Italy.
I will have more images from Tucson as time goes by.
