Yes, this is Tucson…the very east side of town actually. The photo was taken at Saguaro National Park, Eastside (There is also a West version of the park, not far from where I live) about one year ago.
The mountains in the background are the Santa Catalina’s, obviously the day after a snow storm. You can make out portions of the east side of the city in the background. To the right of this photo (where you can’t see) are the Rincon Mountains. This portion of Saguaro NP is up against those mountains. As I may have mentioned before, Tucson is nearly surrounded by mountains, even though most of the city is in the flatlands.
I still find it interesting that one can photograph a Saguaro cactus in the desert and still have snow in the photo. Actually, it’s rare, but Tucson has been known to get some snow. It is a great place to live for so many reason and I am very glad to be here…especially in the Spring. Stay tuned for the first photos of desert wildflowers…it won’t be long now.
