Which Way To The Mine? (12 of 365)

Another photo taken on my westward trip to Arizona. This was taken on the side of the road in Jerome, Arizona. Now just a monument to the history of the town, this cart used to haul rock and copper out of the mines. Jerome, now the largest ghost town in America, used to be home to the largest copper mine in Arizona. At one point in time, this mine was producing 3 million pounds of copper per month!

A very steep and winding road led my family and I through Jerome. The road was so steep that several times we had to pull to the side of the road to let the brakes cool off!

This photo was taken with my XSi on 11.27.2009. It seems I have been posting a lot from this trip, but I have so many great photos! If you want to catch a glimpse of America's most vertical city, take a look through Google Maps.

Tree Stars! (11 of 365)

Yes I brought up a movie reference from the late 1980's. Was a very interesting movie until they had to go crazy and make another 80 or so sequels. Well enough about The Land Before Time and back to the picture of the day.

This is another one from my trip to Arizona last year. I was able to stand just right to get the effect of the Sun being a star peaking through the branches of this tree.

This was taken with my XSi on 11.27.2009 just outside of Sedona, Arizona. Did I happen to mention I like pictures of trees? Ha!

The White Rock (09 of 365)

Worth a thousand words...but I will only use a few...

For some reason the photographs I have sitting around my place have little color. What can I say, I like black and white photos and they tend to be of trees. I picked this little number up at Wal-Mart on the cheap. I have it sitting on one of my bookshelves along with this white rock.

The white rock cost me an international round-trip plane ticket but was totally worth it! I found this rock while walking around in Northern Ireland. The trip was a blast and don't worry I took plenty of pictures and got to do tons of fun stuff! I might just have to post some of those pictures someday.

This photo was taken with my XSi using the 18-55mm lens. Ya I know I missed out yesterday, but plan on posting this and another today to keep up!

Winding Road (04 of 365)

Bending the rules yet again, but this is another one that was too good to pass up!

My family and I went to visit more family down in Arizona for Thanksgiving last year. On our way back to Kansas we made a slight detour through Sedona to see the sights and scenery. The poor GPS (or Eva as it was dubbed on the trip) seemed like it was about ready to go nuts with the switchback roads that cut through the mountains!

This picture was taken with my XSi on 11.27.2009. Don't worry I got plenty of other shots of the sights than this one, ha! If you are curious and want to see what this road really looked like, see it on Google Maps.
